Crops in Botswana grow 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 also has big numbers of trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to use these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather condition and deal high productivity, in addition to to establish techniques of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological approach will assist 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 relating to Jatropha will be constructed and appropriate varieties will be established. Moreover, in this desert that is subject to winter, efforts will be made to develop a cultivation system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The job will work to construct a sustainable bioenergy production design using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
