Invasive Alien Plants
In South Africa, Invasive alien plants (IAPs) pose a direct threat not only to South Africa’s biological diversity, but also to water security, the ecological functioning of natural systems and the productive use of land. Programmes such as the DEFF-NRM Working for Water project have been established to facilitate the clearing of Invasive alien plant species. This case study investigates potential beneficiation options with the aim of producing BioEnergy products.
