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 hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to achieve a society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
