Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high productivity, along with to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a system that is versatile with regard to environment modification. The job will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
