Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country’s own biological resources A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
