Summary: The U.S. government's Biomass Crop Assistance Program is aimed at encouraging California, Washington and Montana farmers to grow camelina, a non-food source of oil used in the production of biofuel. Biofuel burns much cleaner than straight jet-A, which means a significant reduction in carbon output for aviation enterprises.
