Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to .
