Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
