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 cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold great pledge as a . The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this arid region that goes through cold weather, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
