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 endure and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
