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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed 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 regard to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant that are native to Botswana.
