Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
