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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help to a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
