Tagaddod, an Egyptian waste-to-energy and renewable feedstock platform, has raised $26.3 million in Series A funding to expand its regional footprint and strengthen its biofuel supply chain capabilities across Africa, Asia, and Europe.
The funding round was led by The Arab Energy Fund (TAEF) with participation from FMO (the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank), Verod-Kepple Africa Ventures (VKAV), and A15 Ventures, among other existing backers.
Tagaddod is a Cairo-based clean-tech company specialising in waste-to-energy solutions. It collects, processes, and certifies renewable feedstocks for biofuel production, contributing to circular economy goals and emission reduction targets worldwide.
Driving Sustainable Energy Growth
Tagaddod — which means “renewal” in Arabic — collects and repurposes waste oils and fats into certified renewable feedstocks used for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production.
With this new investment, the company aims to scale its technology infrastructure, logistics operations, and traceability systems to support the growing demand for clean, low-carbon fuels globally.
Strategic Use of Funds
The $26.3 million Series A funding will be used to:
- Expand Tagaddod’s presence in existing and new markets across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe
- Enhance digital capabilities with AI-driven logistics, automation, and predictive data tools
- Increase collection capacity for used cooking oil and animal fats
- Support partnerships and compliance frameworks to meet international SAF and biofuel standards
