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 accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to establish techniques of these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country’s own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate change.
The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
