Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
