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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
