Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with to environment change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
