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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method 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 ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
