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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is with regard to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
