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 achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation 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 considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.
a bioenergy production design based on the country’s own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate change.
The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
