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 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 thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to make use of these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high efficiency, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
