Namibia: There's Power in the Bush, 2 April 2007 from Allafrica.com. A project to transform "invader bush", a generic term for fast-growing invasive species that are taking over Namibia's farmland, into electricity is being planned. "Namibia's bush-to-electricity energy potential in bush-infested areas lies in using available electricity-generating technologies and applying ecological management principles that can generate between 0.5 and 2.5 MWh per hectares per year. At a sustainable yield of 2 MWh per hectare, some 1.5 million ha of bush harvested each year would ensure that Namibia's entire annual electricity consumption of 3 000 GWh is generated."
Namibia: Bill to Rescue Bio-Energy Sector, 23 March 2007 from Allafrica.com. A lack of clear goverment regulations in Namibia is holding up development of the country's biofuel sector. A plan to create jatropha plantations is being hampered by the lack of clear land-title by farmers, and the lack of funds and government resources to assign titles.
