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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
