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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve 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 is to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
