Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, along with to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country’s own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
