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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to . The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
