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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand 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 objective of this task is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to and cold weather and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
