Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement 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 large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
