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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and . It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
