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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help 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 relating to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is with regard to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
