Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to 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 stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
