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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
