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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
