Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
