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 dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
