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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, in addition to to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
