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 endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to . The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
