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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
