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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, as well as to develop approaches 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 country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
