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 society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure 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 great pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
