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 on bioenergy. However, the nation 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 quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high performance, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is with regard to environment change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
