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 dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
