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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to develop methods of these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
