EarthDaily Agro and Global Clean Energy partner to grow adoption of Camelina-based renewable fuel
In Minnesota, EarthDaily Agro, a division of geospatial analytics company EarthDaily Analytics, has been selected by renewable fuel developer Global Clean Energy Holdings and its subsidiary Sustainable Oils to support their work to increase the adoption of camelina in the renewable fuels marketplace through their Climate-Smart Camelina Project.
The multi-year contract is made possible by a $30 million U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Climate-Smart Commodities Grant, which was awarded to Global Clean Energy for the purposes of developing camelina as an ultra-low carbon renewable fuel feedstock and building associated climate-smart renewable fuels markets. The initial project will focus on the Western U.S., with plans to expand to other regions of the world deemed suitable to camelina production.
“As the renewable fuels industry continues to expand, optimizing the efficiency of our production is critical for meeting growing camelina demand,” said Kevin Monk, Sustainable Oils’ Vice President of Ag Technology. “Geospatial analytics and data processing from EarthDaily Agro equip our company to make informed cultivation and commercialization decisions to continue advancing camelina as a high-potential, low-carbon renewable fuel feedstock.”
