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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will help to accomplish 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 curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
