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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, 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 associating with Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
