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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
