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 endure dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
