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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to and winter and deal high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
