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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help 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 relating to will be constructed and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
