Pono Pacific and Par Hawaiʻi are now exploring camelina as a source for local production of sustainable aviation fuel. Cover crops offer multiple benefits. They are typically planted with other crops to improve the quality of the soil and offer a way to naturally ward off pests that can destroy the crops.

The byproducts of cover crops can be used as animal feed to support Hawaiʻi’s cattle ranches, and the seeds can be crushed to produce oil that can displace crude oil for the production of sustainable aviation fuel.
