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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
