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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
