Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high performance, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be constructed and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The task will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
