Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
