Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to attain a society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
