There’s intense interest in sustainably growing non-food Nuseed Carinata for low-carbon energy feedstock between primary crops. Nuseed owns the proprietary brassica carinata technology assets and germplasm, there are however extensive research collaborations underway in the U.S., Argentina, and Europe with university and extension programs.   The primary U.S. R&D collaboration is with the Southeast Partnership for Advanced

The recent LMC Lipid Feedstock Outlook to 2030 sites The Advanced Biofuels Association goal of replacing 21 billion gallons of fossil fuels with biomass-based diesel (BBD) in the U.S. by 2040. The study then asks the critical question: Will there be enough lipid feedstock to meet this demand?  The short answer, according to the study’s

With the arrival of winter in the southern hemisphere, growers in Argentina are starting to plant cover crops to protect against erosion and restore and improve soil in the window between primary crop harvest and planting. 2022 marks the fourth season many of those growers are seizing a relatively new contract opportunity. It’s to supply

By growing Nuseed Carinata on just 1.5% of the 170 million hectares estimated available for cover cropping in North America, Europe, Central and South America we could grow enough feedstock for one billion gallons of sustainable aviation fuel, annually starting from 2030, on existing farmland, without displacing primary food crops.  That in turn could remove

Frontiers in Energy Research, Bioenergy and Biofuels recently published a research article Modeling yield, biogenic emissions, and carbon sequestration in southeastern cropping systems with winter carinata U.S. experts from Mississippi State, University of Georgia, University of Florida, Colorado State University, Oakridge National Laboratory, and Nuseed recently published an article studying the carbon-savings potential of planting

Nuseed Carinata development program expands to Brazil   Following three seasons of production between primary crops in Argentina for low-carbon biofuel feedstock, the Nuseed Carinata dedicated research and development sustainable production program has expanded to Brazil. The first crop trials were planted early December 2021 in the states of Santa Catarina, Paraná, Minas Gerais, Goiás and

Biofuel feedstock demand is expected to continue growing rapidly as governments and companies worldwide work to mitigate climate change by reducing carbon. Sustainably producing enough feedstock will continue to be an industry challenge.  “We are focused on the impact Nuseed Carinata can make today as a drop-in solution, and by scaling up global production its

Nuseed and bp enter into a 10-year strategic agreement enabling Nuseed to accelerate the expansion of its Nuseed Carinata sustainable production program.  bp will purchase Nuseed Carinata oil and plan to process or sell it into growing markets to supply sustainable biofuels.  Nuseed, today announced that it has entered into a long-term strategic offtake and
