Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
