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 hold up against dryness and winter cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to achieve a society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
