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 accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.


Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
