Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment 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 cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to and winter and offer high performance, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
