Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
