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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
