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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
