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 hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
