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 on bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high productivity, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
