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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
