Company Description
Information-based Optimization of Jatropha Biomass Energy Production in the Frost- and Drought-prone Regions Of Botswana
Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the 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 also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, as well as to establish techniques 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 country’s own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
