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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish approaches of these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
