Ministry explores alternative sources of energy

The minister explained at Badikolobe Piggery Processing and Marketing Cooperative Society in Selebi-Phikwe, that this is part of a wider plan to seek alternative sources of energy.

He said that currently, the ministry is experimenting with animal fat produced by Botswana Meat Commission (BMC). However, a study has shown that fat from BMC alone will not be sufficient hence there is need for other sources. "The problem will be the logistics of collecting fat throughout the country," he said. Kedikilwe said they may have to consider collecting fat from the newly established cooperative.
