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 bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high performance, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country’s own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
