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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist 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 relating to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
