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 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 trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high performance, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
