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 withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to attain 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 curcas will be and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
