Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation 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 amounts of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
