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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
