Information-based Optimization of Jatropha Biomass Energy Production in the Frost- and Drought-prone Regions Of Botswana
Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes cold weather condition, will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
