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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country’s own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
