Crops in Botswana grow due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help 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 associating with Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
