Risk	Description and action plan
Conflict between parties	Conflicts can arise from different causes and can have negative effects on the project. Different culture have different ways of thinking, so it is important the other party has be approached discreetly. For both parties the higher goal is the success of the project, so you have to make some compromises. It is essential that the communication between the parties remain good, so that conflicts can be prevented.
No grants	The funding of the government is very important for the project. The construction of the biogas plant will be partly financed by these fundings. If the farm does not get the grants, it will lead to a stagnation of the project. If this happens, we will try to do as much as we can of that what doesn’t depend on the grants. We will have to discuss with Dr. Kroesen about the continuation plan.
No permits (in time)	If the permits will not be given in time, the construction of the biogas plant will be postponed. The only thing that can be done is the preparation work for the construction. This includes writing the business plan, networking, approaching the Tshwane University of Technology, creating renewable energy awareness etc..
Unable to drive the car	If we are unable to drive the car, there are certain things we can do: Let us drive by a taxi or let us be driven by an acquaintance Try to borrow or buy another car
Unable to get in contact with professors	If we can not get in touch with the professors of the Tshwane University of Technology, due to holidays or other causes, we could try to get in touch with the Executive Board or other departments.
The design of the biogas plant is not ready for construction	If the design of the biogas plant is not ready in the period of november to january, the design has to be finished by another party. This could be another follow-up group or a biogas contractor.
