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 withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
