Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon 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 plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, along with to establish methods 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 data relating to Jatropha will be built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
