Background
• Bush encroachment affects 30 million ha, reducing rangeland productivity by 2/3; impact on ground- water re-charge
• Minister: “BE can be considered a National Disaster”
Project Objective
• … to develop strategies to upscale de-bushing in Namibia
Value Addition Strategy
• … electricity/power generation from encroacher bush is the most obvious and immediate solution

Off-grid / Mini-grid Power Supply Solutions
• Supply of „island solutions” for industrial/SME parks or rural communities
Industrial Applications (boilers)
• Biomass boilers allow to substitute imported fossil fuel with local biomass
On-grid Power Generation
• Decentralised 5-20 MW biomass power plants; close to resource base and off-takers
