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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a . The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather 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 design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
