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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, in addition to to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
