Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of data associating with Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
