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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will help to attain 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 curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with regard to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
