Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country 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 amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
