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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
