Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique 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 curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
