A new report from The James Hutton Institute and SRUC explores the potential for growing oilseed cover crops in Scotland to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Commissioned by the Scottish Government, the review identifies camelina as the most promising crop due to its high oil content and low carbon intensity. Researchers plan field trials to test camelina’s performance under Scottish conditions and assess its environmental impact. The work supports Scotland’s efforts toward net-zero emissions by 2045 and highlights camelina’s dual potential as a biofuel source and nutritious cooking oil.
