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 cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
