Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
