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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
