Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 withstand dryness and winter cold. It also has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, in addition to to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
