Crops in Botswana grow slowly 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 withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high productivity, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
