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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
