The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.
Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country’s own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change.
