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 upon bioenergy. However, the country has an abundance of wild plants that can stand up to dryness and cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold terrific promise as a biofuel. The objective of this project is to utilize these resources to develop Jatropha ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and deal high efficiency, along with to establish methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological method will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based upon the nation's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to jatropha curcas will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid area that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to develop a growing system that is flexible with regard to climate modification. The project will work to develop a sustainable bioenergy production model using plant hereditary resources that are indigenous to Botswana.
