Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
