Biodiesel

The US State of Montana has recently been growing more and more camelina for its potential as a biofuel and bio-lubricant [http://www.montana.edu/biobased/]

Jack Brown, a plant scientist at the University of Idaho, studies this emerging biodiesel [http://www.biodiesel.org/news/bulletin/2007/120307.htm] .

[http://www.camelinacompany.com Great Plains - The Camelina Company] began research efforts with camelina over 10 years ago. They are currently contracting with growers throughout the U.S. and Canada to grow camelina for biodiesel production.
