Crops in Botswana grow 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 hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold great promise 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 offer high productivity, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological method will assist 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 connecting to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
