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 upon . However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
