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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high productivity, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
