Crops in Botswana grow slowly 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 cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to make use of these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
