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 season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, as well as to of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
