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 endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to and cold weather and offer high performance, in addition to to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique 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 built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
