Alien vegetation, biomass can produce electricity while saving water

Biomass from offcuts from commercial plantations, including recycled orchards and vineyards, and cleared invasive, alien vegetation from river rehabilitation projects can be used as an alternative, clean heating solution, says biomass harvesting company African Biomass Company (ABC) founding partner and MD Willem van der Merwe. He notes that there are 150 000 t/y of unwanted invasive alien trees available in the Western Cape alone.
