1 Information based Optimization of Jatropha Biomass Energy Production in the Frost and Drought prone Regions Of Botswana
Armando Larocque edited this page 7 months 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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is with regard to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
