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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to .
