Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that is subject to cold weather condition, will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
