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 hold up against dryness and winter cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high performance, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
