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 accomplishment of a low carbon society based on . However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
