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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
