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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
