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 bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
