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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
