Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts 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 varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
