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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon .
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
