While it\u2019s not particularly appetizing as a food source, it holds substantial industrial value. In fact, Camelina oil is now used to produce jet fuel that meets the same performance standards as petroleum-based aviation fuel.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"578\" data-end=\"622\">An Ancient Plant with a Global Footprint<\/h3><p data-start=\"624\" data-end=\"888\">Camelina has deep historical roots. It originated in India around 3,000 BC and, based on archaeological evidence, was also cultivated along Europe\u2019s coastline nearly 8,000 years ago. Today, farmers grow it across the Mediterranean, Europe, Asia, and North America.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"890\" data-end=\"917\">Low Carbon, High Impact<\/h3><p data-start=\"919\" data-end=\"1130\">Camelina oil boasts one of the lowest carbon intensity scores among biofuels.

It grows quickly and needs less water than many traditional crops. Even better, farmers don\u2019t need to replace their main crops like corn, wheat, or soybeans. Instead, they can grow Camelina between seasons. As a hardy cover crop, it can be planted in either winter or spring, surviving harsh cold, and then harvested as a cash crop for biofuel or livestock feed.<\/p><p data-start=\"596\" data-end=\"947\">In addition to generating revenue, Camelina helps protect and enrich the soil. Since the roots remain after harvest, they return carbon and organic matter to the ground, which reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. Furthermore, the plant\u2019s natural resistance to pests and disease means fewer pesticides are required, lowering overall input costs.<\/p><p class=\"p1\"><b>RENEWABLE PROPANE<\/b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p><p data-start=\"977\" data-end=\"1328\">Producing renewable propane starts with feedstocks like soybean oil, Camelina seed oil, crop stover, animal tallow, and used cooking oil. To support this shift, biorefineries are being retrofitted nationwide to process these renewable materials. Many energy companies are expanding their renewable propane output alongside renewable diesel production.<\/p><p data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1559\">For instance, Global Clean Energy is retrofitting its refinery in Bakersfield, California. The facility will eventually process Camelina into ultra-low-carbon renewable fuels\u2014including both renewable diesel and renewable propane.<\/p><p data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1898\">This fuel is already being put to work. In Sacramento, California, the Elk Grove School District has incorporated renewable propane into its school bus fleet. \u201cWe\u2019re currently running about 20 to 30 school buses on renewable propane,\u201d said Anthony Willis, fleet maintenance supervisor. \u201cWe\u2019ll consider more when older buses are retired.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-547491f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"547491f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3cc35d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3cc35d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><b>MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY<br \/><\/b><\/p><p data-start=\"184\" data-end=\"455\">In 2011, Detroit Metro Airport and Willow Run Airport teamed up with Michigan State University Extension (MSU) to cultivate up to 1,700 acres of Camelina.

The goal: maximize Camelina&#8217;s oilseed yield and expand its use as a clean jet fuel. A notable advantage of Camelina-based biofuel is that it doesn\u2019t freeze at high altitudes\u2014an essential feature for aviation, especially at 30,000 feet.<\/p><p data-start=\"794\" data-end=\"996\">The Michigan Propane Gas Association (MPGA) has contacted MSU to learn more about the Camelina jet fuel initiative. They\u2019re also exploring the opportunity to produce a collaborative video in the future.<\/p><p data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1239\">Meanwhile, in 2010, the EPA established a formal process that allows companies to petition for new fuel pathways under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS).
