Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to . The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
