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 endure dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
