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 cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of information connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
