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 endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
