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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
