In Massachusetts, Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. signed a Memorandum of Understanding with American Airlines, Inc. on February 27, 2023 to collaborate in developing the value chain for Camelina as a low-carbon feedstock oil for sustainable aviation fuel (“SAF”). American is committed to helping to scale SAF production as a cornerstone of its climate strategy this decade. […]
In Massachusetts, Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. announced key advancements for enabling weed control for Camelina cultivation and for supporting grower adoption of this crop for the biofuel feedstock oil market. Control of broadleaf weeds is essential for the adoption and success of commercial crops in North America. The development of herbicide tolerant (HT) Camelina is a […]
Sustainable Oils Camelina has emerged as the crop feedstock of choice for renewable diesel production. Renewable diesel made from Sustainable Oils Camelina is a high-demand drop-in fuel that meets all specifications for today’s engines, on par with diesel produced from petroleum. Sustainable Oils Camelina varieties are the only camelina approved for the California LCFS. Sustainable […]
In Massachusetts, Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. announced its 2023 enrollment program for contract production of Camelina. Yield10 is offering contracts for both spring and winter varieties of Camelina to farmers located in Western Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba), and Northern U.S. (Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho and Minnesota). Yield10 is offering growers offtake production contracts […]
In Colorado, Equilon Enterprises LLC (“Shell”) and S&W Seed Company, a global agricultural company, announced the execution of an agreement to establish a joint venture for the purpose of developing novel plant genetics for oil seed cover crops as feedstocks for biofuel production. The JV company, named Vision Bioenergy Oilseeds LLC, will be jointly owned […]
News has arrived from Yield10 Bioscience and Mitsubishi that they are noodling over a partnership to supply, offtake and market Camelina as a low-carbon feedstock oil for biofuels; the two companies have now progressed to a memorandum of understanding of a deal which would ultimately be aimed at supporting Mitsubishi’s stated goal o mass produce […]
In Massachusetts, Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. has signed with Mitsubishi Corporation a Memorandum of Understanding to evaluate the establishment of a partnership to supply, offtake and market Camelina as a low-carbon feedstock oil for biofuels.
