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 large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and and deal high efficiency, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist 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 connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
