Empowering Clean Energy Access Through Smart LPG Distribution

🚀 Boltway Investments Fundraiser Story

Empowering Southern Africa with Reliable, Affordable LPG Distribution

Boltway Energy is a South African registered start up, Boltway Energy is licensed by the Department of Energy to distribute petroleum products.

At Boltway Investments, we believe access to safe, affordable, and reliable energy is the foundation for economic growth and community empowerment. As a 100% black‑owned startup based in Gauteng, South Africa, we are building a modern LPG and petroleum distribution network designed to serve underserved rural communities, SMEs, and export markets across Southern Africa.

🌍 Why We Exist

Millions of households and businesses in the region face unreliable electricity supply and limited access to clean energy alternatives. Large multinationals often overlook smaller players and rural markets, leaving a gap that Boltway is uniquely positioned to fill. Our mission is to bridge this gap by delivering LPG and petroleum products safely, affordably, and efficiently.

💡 What We’re Building

With your support, we will:

• Acquisition of an industrial yard.

• Construct a state‑of‑the‑art LPG refill depot in Gauteng.

• Acquire a fleet of road tankers and delivery trucks to ensure reliable supply.

• Launch a digital ordering and tracking platform for customers.

• Expand into Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique, and DRC, creating regional impact.

• Diversify into cylinder exchange/refill services, lubricants, and renewable energy solutions.

📈 Why Now

Demand for LPG is rising rapidly due to urbanization, industrial growth, and the need for cleaner energy. Government policies strongly support indigenous participation and clean energy adoption. Boltway is ready to scale — but we need funding to unlock our infrastructure and operations.
