Crops in Botswana grow slowly 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 withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
