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 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 curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic pledge 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 performance, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
