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 hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold great as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
