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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
