  • Does Botswana need oil?
  • Botswana is highly reliant on imports of refined petroleum products to meet the liquid fuels demand since the country does not have any proven crude oil reserves/refineries. By far, a large amount of liquid fuels supply comes from South Africa.
  • Why is petroleum policy important in Botswana?
  • This Policy acknowledges the importance of increasing security of supply of petroleum products, facilitating the participation of local companies and ensuring that petroleum products are priced in a manner that will satisfy the players in the industry. Botswana has abundant coal resources, estimated at about 212 billion tonnes.
  • Why does Botswana need crude oil?
  • Botswana has no proven crude oil reserves and no crude oil refineries hence highly reliant on imports of refined petroleum products to meet the liquid fuels demand. By far, a large amount of supplies comes mainly from RSA and the rest from alternative routes including Namibia and Mozambique to enhance security of supply.
  • Can biofuels be used in Botswana?
  • A feasibility study for production and use of biofuels in Botswana has revealed the potential for liquid bio-fuels production; mainly biodiesel from Jatropha curcas and ethanol from sweet reed. Effective energy efficiency and conservation measures can save Botswana a significant amount of energy, especially from the demand side management point.
