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 . However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
