Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold great as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, 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 model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
