Can Namibia become a top 15 oil-producing country by 2035?
“If proven together with the Graff, Yonker, and Kudu discoveries, has the potential to position Namibia in the top 15 oil-producing countries by 2035, which has the potential for an upward transformation of the Namibian economy.”
Can Namibia produce bioenergy?
Namibia is regarded to have considerable potential for bioenergy production. The two most promising bioenergy pathways are the conversion of invasive woody shrubs (bush) into bioenergy (charcoal, woodgas for electrification and woodfuel briquettes) and Jatropha curcas cultivation for producing straight vegetable oil (SVO) and biodiesel.
Can bioenergy production contribute to rural development and food security in Namibia?
The paper has shown that bioenergy production can contribute to rural development and food security in Namibia (especially for the bush-to-energy value chains, small-scale Jatro-pha schemes and contract farming models based on the CDM).
Why do we need oil & gas reserves in Namibia?
She added: “Namibia is a land of unspoiled beauty and rich resources, and the discovery of oil and gas reserves within our borders brings both opportunities and responsibilities.
