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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has large numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold excellent guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high productivity, along with to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources
A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this desert that undergoes cold weather, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
