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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
