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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
