Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the accomplishment of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist 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 associating with will be built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
