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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources A database of information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
