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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The of this job is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high performance, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges 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 build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
