Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great pledge 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 condition and offer high efficiency, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
