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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, along with to of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
