Alpha Beta Energy | Energy Security for West Africa

Our Approach

One Platform. Complete Energy Solutions.

EMEA's emerging markets don't need one silver bullet — they need a portfolio of energy infrastructure built by a team that understands the terrain. Alpha Beta Energy is a single investment vehicle operating across the energy value chain: processing, storage, logistics, and power generation. Each project solves a different piece of the energy equation, calibrated to real market demand and deployed where capital is most underserved.

Hydrocarbon Processing

Small modular refineries that convert locally available crude oil into the fuels these economies run on — diesel, kerosene, and fuel oil — built to scale with demand.

Storage & Logistics

Tank farms, marine terminals, and inland distribution networks that give these markets reliable access to fuel — eliminating the bottlenecks that drive up costs.

Power Generation

Future-facing investments in power infrastructure — from gas-to-power to solar — that complement our downstream footprint and serve a continent hungry for electricity.

Our flagship project, a next-generation petroleum refinery and oil terminal in The Gambia, West Africa, is shovel-ready and represents the first deployment of this strategy in one of the world's most underserved energy markets.
