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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
