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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and and offer high productivity, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
