Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant that are native to Botswana.
