Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
