ICAO has now recognized Carinata, an oilseed crop, as a renewable feedstock with a similar lifecycle carbon emission reduction as waste-derived SAF.
Carinata, or Ethiopian mustard, is a flowering plant that produces oil-rich seeds. After ICAO evaluated Carinata-derived SAF as being on a lifecycle greenhouse-gas reduction par with sustainable fuels produced from wastes and residues, companies such as Nuseed are promoting its non-food competing, soil regenerative qualities.
