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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique 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 data connecting to Jatropha will be built and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
