- Oil products imported from abroad account for the dominant fossil fuel in Namibia. - Oil products are mainly used in transportation, and in second place come others, which cover residential, commercial and public services, agriculture, fishing. - Namibia is sparsely populated country with 2.4 million inhabitant, living on 825 thousand km2, which means very low population density, and low industrial base, with electricity provided for one third of the population only, which means low emission of CO2. - Because of these reasons, it is not always economically feasible to make investments in big projects, taking into account the economic difficulties facing the government. - That’s why introducing any new alternatives should be done on small scale locally without big spending, such as introducing small scale public transportation, where feasible, also introducing renewable energy, specifically solar energy, locally for villages, and encouraging reducing consumption of electricity, through different means, such as using LED technologies instead of old ones.
