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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
