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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, in addition to to develop approaches 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 information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
