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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to and cold weather and deal high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
