Global Clean Energy Holdings lands $30M USDA pilot to measure and validate camelina
In California, Global Clean Energy Holdings, Inc. was awarded up to $30 million for a large-scale pilot project to measure and validate the advantages of camelina sativa as an ultra-low carbon renewable fuel feedstock in the first round of the USDA grants. Intelinair is one of 17 company and university partners named to this pilot project utilizing its leading models and analytics to provide crop production analysis and crop yield estimation.
According to USDA’s announcement, the five-year project will help “accelerate farmer adoption of camelina as a nonfood crop grown on idle acres to produce more plant-based feedstock for renewable biofuels and chemicals with low carbon intensity and no land use change while increasing carbon capture in the soil.”
