Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be . Moreover, in this dry area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
