Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to 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 hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task 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 techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, 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 curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
