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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant that are native to Botswana.
