Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
