Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure 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 pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
