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 nation has an of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help 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 relating to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
