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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
