Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a design based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert 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 develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
