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 to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
