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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish 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 appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
