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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold great pledge 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 efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological technique 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 associating with jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
