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 bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent 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 deal high performance, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
