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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
