Company Description
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 hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation’s own
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
