Crops in Botswana grow slowly 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 likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
