Crops in Botswana grow slowly 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 hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is with regard to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
