Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
