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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
