Crops in gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement 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 season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
