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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
