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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
