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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstanddryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to and winter and deal high efficiency, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbonsociety.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
