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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to develop methods of these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to achieve 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 will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
