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 also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
