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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
