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 endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve 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 will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
