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 . However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
