1. Camelina

   Camelina is a genus within the flowering plant family Brassicaceae. The Camelina species, commonly known as false flax, are native to Mediterranean regions of Europe and Asia. Most species of this genus have been little studied, with the exception of Camelina sativa, historically cultivated as an oil plant. Heinrich Johann Nepomuk von Crantz was the first botanist to use the genus Camelina in his classification works in 1762. As a way to reduce fossil fuel emissions, the US Navy tested a 50-50 mix of jet aviation fuel and biofuel derived from camelina seeds in 2010. A study published in December 2016 explained that the current low price of conventional kerosene-based jet fuel makes it cost-prohibitive for commercial airlines to use camelina-based jet fuel. The study said substantial government intervention would be one way to create a market for camelina, by combining 9 percent government subsidy on camelina crop production, with 9 percent tax on the conventional fuel.

   Camelina, also known as "gold-of-pleasure" or "false flax," is a genus of flowering plants in the family Brassicaceae. It includes several species native to Eurasia and often cultivated as an oilseed crop. The oil obtained from camelina seeds is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, making it suitable for culinary and industrial applications. In recent years, it has also gained attention as a potential source of biofuel.
