Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
