We cannot only do an assessment of areas invested with invader plants and bush and then issue a permit for charcoal production. It is much more difficult,&#8221; he said at Otjiwa where the annual Biomass Technology Expo was held.<br \/>We will have to consult traditional leadership, inform ourselves of areas with suited bio-materials to be harvested and organize the communities. We must make sure not only certain individuals gain from the opportunity and employment is organized. We also have to make sure international and local regulations are adhere to. If we do not do that, we put the future of the bio-industry in jeopardy,\u201d he said.<br \/>In that regard, government as the main player in developing a viable bio-industry in communal areas is leaning heavily on local and international input to get things right from the very beginning. <br \/>In this regard, DAS (De-bushing Advisory Council of Namibia) a co-operational partnership serving the industry is doing important work. <br \/>DAS provides information on bush encroachment, control methods and biomass utilisation, serves as a knowledge and contact broker for the industry and foster access to financial and technical support.<br \/>Together with its organisational partner, N-BiG, they police policy driving the potentially huge industry now taking shape in the agro-arena.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":276042,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-276040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
