Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
