Camelina sativa  belongs to the same family as oilseed rape (Cruciferae or Brassicaceae), but is a different genus. Camelina meal is a by-product of camelina oil extraction. The oil is a potential source for biofuels. Sustainable Oils, a joint-venture between Targeted Growth and Green Earth Fuels, was launched in late 2007 and is focused on the research, development and commercialisation of camelina for biodiesel production. Camelina requires minimal water and can be harvested with traditional equipment. Because of these properties, it can be grown on fallow ground or as a rotation crop. Therefore, it is not competitive with traditional food crops but instead creates a ‘food-plus-fuels’ scenario.
