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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
