SAF companies working on Crop-to-Fuel

The Crop-to-Fuel pathway harnesses the power of agriculture to transform resilient nonfood crops into jet fuel. The most commonly used feedstocks for this purpose are cover crops or rotational oil seed crops like camelina, carinata, and pennycress.

These crops can be grown in rotation with wheat and other cereals within the same year when the land would otherwise be left fallow as part of the normal crop rotation program. This practice not only helps diversify the crop base for growers but also reduces monocropping, which has been shown to degrade soil and reduce yields and resistance to pests and diseases.
