Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will help to a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
