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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to use these resources to ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, along with to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
