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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high performance, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are to Botswana.
