California Officials Seek Camilina Producers For BCAP Program Funding
Would be feedstock for biofuels plant to be built in Bakersfield
Farm officials, hoping to get California farmers to plant as much as 25,000 acres of camelina, an oilseed, for a biomass start-up project are offering incentives to growers in San Joaquin County and other areas of the Central Valley and Southern California.
Camelina, which grows on marginal land, would be feedstock for a biofuel plant producing jet fuel substitute to be built in Bakersfield and begin production in late 2012.
