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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also 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 objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
