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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and . It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel.
The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
