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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
