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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and and deal high productivity, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, 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 ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
