Crops in Botswana grow gradually due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based on bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant amounts of an oil considered to hold great guarantee as a . The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data associating with jatropha curcas will be built and ideal varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to environment modification. The project will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
