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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
