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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
