Government is currently exploring ways of harnessing biogas as an alternative source of energy for homes and industries throughout the country.

This was revealed by the Minister of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources Ponatshego Kedikilwe at the demonstrations of a biogas plant in Lobatse last week.

Kedikilwe said the government started exploring reliable energy sources in 1976 through the Rural Industries Innovation Centre (RIIC), but did not pursue it further.

He added that biogas is especially handy in rural areas where firewood is often used as the primary energy source.
