Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, along with to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
