Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment 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 great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with 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 constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
