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 achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
