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 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 large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country’s own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
