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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
