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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
