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 also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help 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 associating with Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
