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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
