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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure 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 pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant that are native to Botswana.
