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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
