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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. 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 information connecting to Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, 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 model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
