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 accomplishment of a low carbon based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help 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 curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
