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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique 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 associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
