Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
