Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
