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 withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
