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 . However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
