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 withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high productivity, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
