Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 endure 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 great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
