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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
