Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.
a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
