Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to 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 pledge 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 cold weather and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist 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 relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
