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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is with respect to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
