Distribution model

From imports to the last mile, at the ARSAT price everywhere: the integrated distribution model through which EnerTchad aims to put fuel within reach of every Chadian.

Core business · Refining & Distribution · Distribution

Distribution: the link that touches every Chadian.

It is at the end of the chain — all the way to the pump — that the value of Chadian crude returns to the citizen. EnerTchad aims for a distribution model designed to give purchasing power back to Chadians by driving fuel prices among the lowest, guarantee access for the greatest number, and support the State in its energy-sovereignty policy.

Angle 01

Purchasing power & fair prices

Fuels among the cheapest, at the ARSAT price everywhere — including in the areas imports neglect. Margin control at every stage benefits the Chadian consumer first.

Angle 02

Hub-station network

Fewer stations, but better designed: hub stations with their own storage, designed to mesh the territory and secure supply all the way to remote areas.

Angle 03

Last mile & logistics

An integrated logistics cascade from local refining to the depot, then from depot to pump: each link feeds the next, down to the most isolated community.

Angle 04

Services & digital

The station becomes a place of services: e-shop, customer portal, and charging points EV charging to support tomorrow’s mobility.

Three customer groups, one promise

Who distribution serves.

The same network, read by usage profile: the citizen at the pump, the company on its worksites, the State in its energy policy.

B2C · Households

Chadians’ purchasing power

Fuels among the cheapest, at the ARSAT price everywhere — including in the areas imports neglect. Margin control at every stage benefits the consumer first.

B2B · Fleets & industry

Contracts & fuel cards

Dedicated supply for fleets, transporters, mines and construction: guaranteed volumes, management cards and on-site delivered logistics.

B2G · State & local authorities

Energy sovereignty

A partner to the State for public supply and the distributed strategic reserve — a lever of stability serving the country.

Distribution cascade · from import to the pump

Each link feeds the next.

EnerTchad’s distribution is designed as an integrated cascade: at launch, the molecule enters through regional import; as local refining ramps up, it is produced in-country. In both cases value flows down to the last jerrycan, and each stage funds and secures the next. That integration is what makes a fair price possible, even far from the main roads.

Step 01
Sourcing & regional import

Finished products sourced from Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Angola and Algeria — the first day’s supply.

access
Launch model · B2B

From commercial launch: import, store, deliver to professionals.

The modular mini-refinery is a dated target, not a day-one capability. EnerTchad’s launch model is therefore the import of finished products, stored in three hubs spread across the territory and delivered to professional customers. This business is the first stage of the chain: it must generate the cash flow that funds the next ones — local refining, then the retail network.

Five source countries

Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Angola and Algeria. Two families of routes: overland regional haulage from Niger, Nigeria and Cameroon; and seaborne cargoes from Angola and Algeria, landed and then carried up the Douala–N’Djamena corridor. Diversifying origins means, first of all, depending on none.

Three storage hubs

N’Djamena commands the entry of the corridor and the first consumption basin; Moundou covers the oil, cotton and industrial south; Abéché opens the east. Storing near the customer rather than only at the point of entry shortens delivery times and absorbs supply shocks.

Four professional customer groups

Mining & public works, hauliers & fleets, agro-industry, standby power & institutions. Contracted volumes, fuel cards and on-site delivery — including the remote sites that today’s supply chains serve poorly.

Launch model of a company being formed: origins, hubs and segments are targets. No order is open to date; requests received before commercial launch result in an indicative quote. See the B2B offer →

Cash flow is won at the pump.

Refining & Distribution · Commercial force

Distribution is the company’s targeted financial lung: while upstream builds tomorrow’s barrels, the network takes in cash every day. Four complementary channels — stations, B2B, LPG, mobile stations — for short, steady cash flow, serving the whole chain.

The station network

Twelve target stations on the corridors and out to the landlocked areas: each pump is a daily cash point, at the ARSAT price displayed everywhere, even where no one else delivers.

B2B · fleets & industry

EnerPro™ framework contracts, on-site delivery, controlled invoicing: the volumes of transporters, mines, breweries and cement plants give the company its predictable revenue base.

Bottled LPG

The deposit bottle turns over quickly: a refillable fleet, a wood-fuel substitution market, a modest unit margin repeated thousands of times.

Mobile Stations™

The pump that goes to the village: light CAPEX, quick commissioning, immediate cash — opening up the country becomes a sales channel in its own right.

Turnover & cash

Fuel sells in hours, not months: inventory turns back into cash before the supplier’s invoice falls due. This short conversion funds upstream without waiting for capital raises.

Brands & loyalty

EnerClub™ for private customers, EnerPro™ for fleets: a recurring basket, consumption data, a defended margin — loyalty turns passing trade into a customer base.

Our method

From the depot to the pump: the journey in six steps

Every litre sold follows the same controlled path — and every step has its indicator: service rate, cost per kilometre-litre, batch compliance. The modular mini-refinery is a dated target, not a day-one capability: at launch the molecule enters through regional import into three storage hubs — N’Djamena, Moundou, Abéché — and is produced in-country as local refining ramps up.

Step 1

Sourcing to specification

Controlled import today, local production targeted tomorrow: every batch comes in with its certificate of conformity.

Step 2

Depot & storage

Reception, custody metering, regional buffer stock: the depot absorbs the shocks of the supply corridor.

Step 3

Planned transport

Optimised rounds, a dedicated tanker fleet, telematics and road-safety rules: deliver the right volume, on time, without incident.

Step 4

Point of sale

Tchadium stations, Mobile Stations™, approved resellers and business delivery: six routes to the customer, one standard.

Step 5

Quality & traceability

Batches tracked to the pump, unannounced checks, specifications on display: trust is measured, not declared.

Step 6

Service & loyalty

Shop, local services, business offers and a loyalty programme (target): the station becomes a place of life, not just a stop.

Quality · Proof

A fair litre is not declared: it is proven.

The chain of proof built from field to depot — numbered seals, weighbridge checks and contradictory dipping (logistics), certificate of analysis for every batch (refining) — ends at the station. Here is the last link.

Reference sample

At every station delivery, a sealed, numbered sample is kept. If a litre is ever questioned, we compare against the depot batch — not against memories. It extends the corridor custody chain all the way to the pump.

Calibration on display

Pumps gauged and calibrated at a set frequency, with a dated metrology certificate displayed in the station. Customers do not take our word for it: they check. The fair litre is a commitment of scales, not of communication.

Marking & batch

Every batch enters with its certificate of analysis; molecular fuel marking targeted, in support of national anti-adulteration programmes, as run by East African regulators. Adulteration and the parallel market are fought in the laboratory.

Target protocols · company in formation — the custody chain and per-batch CoAs are described on the logistics and refining pages.

LPG · Safety

The bottle against the axe — safely.

Gas only replaces wood fuel if every cylinder inspires trust. The Tchadium deposit system comes with a controlled life cycle and simple habits at home.

Cylinder life cycle

Periodic pressure testing and requalification targeted for the deposit fleet, valve check at every pass through the centre, withdrawal of aged or corroded cylinders. A cylinder that circulates is a cylinder that is inspected.

At every refill

Cylinder weighed in front of the customer (tare and fill legible), new seal, leak check before hand-over. A Tchadium exchange point is not a swap: it is a controlled act.

At home

Compliant 28-30 mbar regulator, soapy-water test at the slightest doubt, cylinder upright and ventilated — and never a flame to look for a leak. Simple habits, repeated at every point of sale.

Target protocols · company in formation — NF EN 589 targeted; 6 and 12.5 kg formats detailed in the shop.
