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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure 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 task is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these . In this method, a biological technique will help to attain a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
