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 achievement of a low carbon based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
