1 Information based Optimization of Jatropha Biomass Energy Production in the Frost and Drought prone Regions Of Botswana
Adele Nies edited this page 1 week ago


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 also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is with regard to environment change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
