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 season cold. It likewise has great deals of trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
