Tlou Energy Ltd - Botswana and southern Africa focused exploration firm - Aims to make Lesedi power project the first carbon neutral baseload power project in Botswana by advancing land acquisition. Says recent steps have been taken to acquire additional land for carbon sequestration, as Tlou Energy plans to combine, gas, solar, carbon sequestration at Lesedi. Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide in order to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Adds land access and leasing agreements with relevant landholders have already been negotiated for the power generation facility and a new field operations camp.

"There is considerable scope for using the savanna ecosystem of the Lesedi region for carbon sequestration by protecting it from burning and intensive grazing leading to an increase in the ability of the vegetation to store carbon over time. This will assist Tlou to be able to supply carbon neutral power to the considerable number of potential customers in the region. A significant regional power consumer, the Orapa diamond mine operated by Debswana and located north of Tlou's gas fields has publicly stated their objective to decrease their carbon footprint," says Managing Director Tony Gilby.
