Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to attain 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 constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
