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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, in addition to to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
