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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
