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 withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
