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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent 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, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile 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.
