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 hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold great guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and offer high efficiency, in addition to to establish approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a biological approach will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based upon the nation’s own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with regard to climate modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
