Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
