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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
