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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against 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 utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
