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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
