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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
