Crops in gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
