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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish approaches of these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve 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 curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
