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 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 great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
