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 accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.


Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
