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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
