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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high productivity, as well as to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own A database of biological resource information associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
