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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
