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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high efficiency, along with to establish techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this way, a biological approach will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be constructed and will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to environment change. The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
