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 achievement 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 likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
