All Flights will Run on Camelina Fuel by 2025

Biofuel Market researchers claim that 1 billion gallons of Camelina biofuel would be produced for aviation and other biofuel sectors by 2025.This prediction has been made considering the following factors:

a. Land Availability
b. Land-use Change.
c. Crop-yields.

Interestingly, this will create about 25,000 jobs producing over $3.5 billion income for American and Canadian farmers.

A sustainability company - Sustainable Oils who specifically work on Camelina claims that they will produce about 100 million gallons of camelina based jet fuels to about 15 airlines by 2014. They have already run many test flights and strongly believe that Camelina will be a major contributor to the aviation industry.The camelina renewable jet fuel was made from a 50-50 blend of camelina-derived fuel and conventional JP-8 jet fuel.
