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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter . It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method 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 information connecting to Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing 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 native to Botswana.
