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 season cold. It also has great deals of trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
