Information-based Optimization of Jatropha Biomass Energy Production in the Frost- and Drought-prone Regions Of Botswana
Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, as well as to of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
