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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist 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 connecting to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
