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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. 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 associating with Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, 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 hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
