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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
