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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and condition and deal high efficiency, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
