Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
