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 stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to attain 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 curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary that are indigenous to Botswana.
