1 Information based Optimization of Jatropha Biomass Energy Production in the Frost and Drought prone Regions Of Botswana
Joesph Cottman edited this page 2 weeks ago


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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of data associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
