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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, 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 relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
