Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon . However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
