Canada enters race for renewable jet fuel

In Canada, Humboldt Member of Parliament Brad Trost announced today an investment of over $150,000 to determine the economic feasibility of producing renewable bio-based jet fuel.

The project, led by Saskatchewan-based Ag-West Bio Inc., will assess the feasibility of using dedicated industrial oilseed crops Camelina sativa and Brassica carinata to produce renewable jet fuel. The study will look at feedstock production, processing requirements and potential commercial partners, as well as logistics and infrastructure.
