Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to 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 constructed and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
