Crops in Botswana grow slowly 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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The project will work to develop a production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
