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 large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
