Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
