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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
