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 withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are to Botswana.
