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 cold. It also has great deals of jatropha curcas trees, whose seeds have plentiful quantities of an oil thought about to hold fantastic promise as a biofuel. The goal of this project is to make use of these resources to develop jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and winter and deal high productivity, as well as to develop techniques of cultivating these varieties. In this method, a biological approach will assist to attain a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production design based on the country'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 arid region that goes through cold weather condition, efforts will be made to establish a growing system that is flexible with respect to climate modification. The task will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are native to Botswana.
