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 large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The of this task is to use these resources to establish jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological technique will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
