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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
