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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil thought about to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish Jatropha varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data relating to Jatropha will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
