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 nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has big numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful amounts of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high performance, along with to establish approaches of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological method will assist to achieve a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information associating with Jatropha will be built and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this dry area that is subject to cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
