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 upon . However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
