Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, in addition to to develop approaches of these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
