Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach 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 relating to Jatropha will be built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
