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 bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge 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 offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
