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 country has an abundance of that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, along with to develop 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 connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
