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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high performance, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique 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 data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
