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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
