Title:

Biochar from Namibian encroacher bush - a practical guide for producers

Publication Year:
2020
Abstract:

This is a practical guide for biochar production and application in Namibia. It takes the reader through the production process step-by-step and provides useful information for anyone interested in the topic. The brochure is produced by the GIZ/MEFT Bush Control and Biomass Utilisation Project in close collaboration with NUST BUSH Project, Namibia Biomass Industry Group (N-BiG) and Namibia Charcoal Association (NCA). Adding value to encroacher bush and utilising it for a variety of products such as animal fodder, wood chips or charcoal has proven effective as a means to countering bush encroachment and achieving additional socio-economic benefits in Namibia. Biochar from bush biomass is yet another opportunity.
