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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
