Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to and winter and offer high performance, along with to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
