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 season cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, as well as to develop techniques of these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
