Sustainable Oils is a Seattle-based renewable fuels company specializing in the research and production of Camelina, the only advanced biofuels feedstock with United States Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory approvals.〔(Biofuels Digest )〕 Oil extracted from Camelina seeds can be processed into a number of renewable products including renewable jet fuel, green diesel, biodiesel, green plastics and renewable oleochemicals.〔(Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy. Vol 29, Issue 3, Page 382-392, Oct 2010 )〕 The biomass that remains after oil extraction, generally referred to seedcake or meal, can be used as nutrient-rich animal feed. Camelina offers several advantages over traditional biofuel feedstocks like soy and corn, such as competitive oil yields and shorter growing seasons.〔(Applied Energy Journal - A LCA of Biodiesel Derived from Camelina )〕 Sustainable Oils has its primary operations in the state of Montana. ==History== The Sustainable Oils research program began in 2005.〔(Prairie Star - New Camelina Research Facility to Coordinate Worldwide Efforts )〕 In 2007, Targeted Growth, Inc. and Green Earth Fuels established Sustainable Oils as a Limited Liability Company in the state of Delaware.〔(Sustainable Oils Website )〕 In 2008, the company was awarded a contract by the United States Department of Defense to supply the US Navy 40,000 gallons of Camelina-based jet fuel for certification testing of alternative fuels.〔(Bloomberg )〕 In early 2009, Sustainable Oils began field research operations in Chile.〔(Camelina Oil as a Biofuels Feedstock: Golden Opportunity or False Hope? )〕 In March 2011, a F-22 Raptor fighter jet completed a successful test flight running on a 50% blend of Camelina fuel and traditional jet fuel. Sustainable Oils supplied all the Camelina oil for the test.〔(Clean Technica - Successful F-22 Flight on 50% Camelina Biofuel )〕 In March 2013, Global Clean Energy Holdings, a Long Beach, California-based biofuel feedstock company, acquired Sustainable Oils.〔(Biofuels Digest )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sustainable Oils」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
