Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, 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 data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant that are native to Botswana.
