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 stand up to dryness and winter season cold. It also has large numbers of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific guarantee as a biofuel. The objective of this task is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas varieties that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high performance, as well as to develop approaches of cultivating these ranges. In this way, a will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource information relating to Jatropha will be constructed and suitable varieties will be developed. Moreover, in this desert that goes through winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is versatile with respect to climate change. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant genetic resources that are native to Botswana.
