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 upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can endure dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this job is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, as well as to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information connecting to jatropha curcas will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is versatile with regard to climate change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
