Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
