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 hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
