Crops in Botswana grow slowly 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 hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country'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 arid area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
