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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help 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 curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
