Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
