Our Purpose
Get to know us
The Namibian bush encroachment is causing significant socio-economic challenges for the country. A detailed explanation and background is provided here.
One of the best ways to overcome these challenges, is to turn bush encroachment into opportunities. The use of biomass as a source of energy is not new. However, Acacia Energy takes this process to the next level. We transform the energy stored within biomass into power, heating, and cooling, delivering it to the point of demand.
Our Vision
See What We See
We believe in a green energy future - for everyone - forever.
We believe that sustainable business can only be successful when all participating parties are treated equitably to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. Human capital and natural resources form the basis for all Acacia Energy projects, and as such, both are managed according to the highest international standards.
Our objectives are to uplift those involved within our value chain, to offer our customers renewable forms of energy and to save and regenerate the Sub-Saharan savannas being lost to bush encroachment.
