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 . However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
