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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
