Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
