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 nation 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 abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
