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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist 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 relating to Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
