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 season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
