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 withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve 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 will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather condition, will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
