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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, in addition to to develop approaches 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 relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to .
