Crops in 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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The objective of this job is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological technique will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data associating with Jatropha will be built and suitable ranges will be developed. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
