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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
