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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to accomplish 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 curcas will be built and will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
