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 big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
