1 Information based Optimization of Jatropha Biomass Energy Production in the Frost and Drought prone Regions Of Botswana
Fran Edkins edited this page 3 months ago


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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to construct a production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
