Crops in Botswana grow gradually 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 endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold fantastic pledge as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon .

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and ideal varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
