Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
