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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
