Crops in Botswana grow slowly 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 withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be . Moreover, in this arid area that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
