Life cycle analysis finds Camelina-based renewable jet fuel reduces GHG emissions by 75%; renewable diesel reduces emissions by 80%

Green Car Congress

The study was based on camelina grown in Montana and processed into biojet fuel using UOP hydroprocessing technology. These groups have conducted multiple tests of the fuel on different aircraft types, engines, and at different speeds. Earlier post.) The research was conducted at Michigan Tech University.

Life Cycle Analysis of Camelina-based Renewable Jet and Diesel Fuels Shows 84-89% GHG Savings Compared to Petroleum Fuels

Green Car Congress

The study was based on camelina grown in Montana by Sustainable Oils and processed into renewable jet and diesel fuels using UOP hydroprocessing technology. It is estimated that the state of Montana alone could support between 2 and 3 million acres of camelina, generating 200 to 300 million gallons of oil each year. Earlier post.).
