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 on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can withstand dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil considered to hold excellent promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high performance, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to . The job will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
