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 hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to and winter and deal high efficiency, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
