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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
