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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to . The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
