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 stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
