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 hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and and deal high performance, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist 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 will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
