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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data associating with will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
