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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great pledge 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 deal high performance, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist 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 relating to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
