Crops in Botswana grow slowly due to dryness and cold-weather, and this is a barrier to the achievement of a low carbon society based upon bioenergy. However, the nation has an abundance of wild plants that can hold up against dryness and winter season cold. It also has great deals of Jatropha trees, whose seeds have abundant quantities of an oil thought about to hold great promise as a biofuel. The goal of this task is to utilize these resources to establish jatropha curcas ranges that are resistant to dryness and cold weather and offer high efficiency, as well as to develop methods of cultivating these ranges. In this method, a biological technique will help to accomplish a low carbon society.

Creating a bioenergy production model based on the country's own biological resources A database of biological resource data connecting to Jatropha will be constructed and ideal ranges will be established. Moreover, in this arid region that undergoes winter, efforts will be made to establish a cultivation system that is flexible with regard to environment change. The project will work to build a sustainable bioenergy production model utilizing plant genetic resources that are native to .
