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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
