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 endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, in addition to to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist 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 connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The task will work to a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
