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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to and cold weather and deal high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
