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 upon bioenergy. However, the country 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 plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
