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 hold up against dryness and winter 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 objective of this project is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is with regard to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
