Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to 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 stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique 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 information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
