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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent 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 efficiency, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
