The trade layer for Namibia's energy decade.

Damtata Energy Exchange is a neutral, jointly-owned platform for verified energy and commodity trade in Namibia, a 50/50 joint venture between Sanco Minerals and SCISSALC Technologies. Because the exchange is its own entity, not any single trader's website, competitors can transact side by side with confidence.

Namibia is one of the world's most exciting energy stories. The offshore Orange Basin, Venus, Mopane, Graff and more, has put the country on a path analysts believe could make it a top-10 global oil producer by the mid-2030s. Yet the domestic fuel market already moves roughly 1.1 billion litres a year - about 100 million litres a month, and it runs on paperwork, phone calls and multi-day bank wires.

The gap isn't oil; it's transparency, price discovery and fast, auditable settlement. When the National Energy Fund recorded roughly N$1.3 billion in under-recoveries in early 2026, the national response, Bulk Petroleum Import Coordination, pointed at exactly those needs: coordinate procurement, and make it transparent.

Damtata is built for that moment. Verified onboarding for every participant, a live catalogue and marketplace, deal rooms with e-signed contracts, escrow-backed settlement in Namibian Dollars or stablecoin, and an intelligence layer that publishes what the market needs to see. One workflow, one audit trail, one source of truth.

We start with the wedge, diesel for existing buyers, settled in fiat, and grow into a full market operator and, in time, a regulated financing layer for the infrastructure the country is building. Transparency first; scale from there.
