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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
