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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
