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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method 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 data connecting to will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
