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 that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
