INEOS Enterprises and Great Plains Join Forces in Major Biofuels Partnership
Camelina is a highly sustainable feedstock for biodiesel production in that it can be grown on marginal land and needs only limited supplies of water, fertiliser and pesticides. The crop, which is crushed for oil extraction, fits into existing agricultural operations as it can be planted and harvested using current equipment and systems. It will allow land not currently used to be brought back into production in many arid areas. A further benefit is provided through the camelina meal that remains after crushing, which is a protein rich animal feed to sustain agricultural livestock.
