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 that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
