Crops in 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 country has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It likewise has big numbers of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil considered to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and offer high productivity, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will help to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to jatropha curcas will be constructed and appropriate ranges will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that undergoes cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is versatile with respect to climate modification. The task will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
