First read this:
Most of the cultivated soybean varieties in the midwest will
have between 17.5 to about 20% oil, on a 13% moisture basis.

Then this:
The oil content of camelina seed has ranged from 29 to 39% in our studies. There appears to be some variation for oil content among the cultivars tested (Table 2), but the germplasm has not been widely characterized. Studies in Germany have shown oil content to range between 37 and 41% and seed protein content 23 to 30% (Marquard and Kuhlmann 1986). Camelina appears to be similar in protein content and elemental composition to flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), with the exception of a higher sulfur content (Robinson 1987). Camelina meal is comparable to soybean meal, containing 45 to 47% crude protein and 10 to 11% fiber (Korsrud et al. 1978).

And finally this exciting article:
It's a gamble that farmer Bruce Wright believes is worth taking.
For the first time this year, Wright planted 50 acres of the European oilseed camelina on his farm along Springhill Road.
The reason? The plant is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the heart, and that's something people will pay for.
"It's got a lot of properties that sound like they can be very beneficial," he said.
But Montana State University researchers see another benefit.
Camelina can be used to make biodiesel, an environmentally friendly alternative to diesel fuel. And they say it can be produced for much less than other biodiesel crops, for the first time making the fuel competitive in price with its petroleum counterpart.
Soaring gas prices at the pumps have led to renewed interest in alternative fuels as a way of curbing the nation's reliance on foreign oil. President Bush visited a biodiesel plant in West Virginia Monday to encourage the development of biodiesel and ethanol. Ethanol is blended with gasoline so it will burn cleaner.
In Montana, state lawmakers recently passed a law requiring all gasoline to be blended with 10 percent ethanol.
Alternative fuels are a major focus of MSU's Institute for Biobased Products, which is developing crops that can be used to make biodiesel, ethanol and biolubricants to replace motor oils.
The institute sees a lot of promise in camelina, which is new to Montana but has been grown in Europe for a long time. The state's cool and dry climate is well suited for growing the crop.
"We believe it has the potential to be substantial crop in Montana over the next year," said Gary Iverson, executive director of the Great Northern Growers Cooperative, whose members have planted about 700 acres of the oilseed in their fields this year.
Still, the potential Iverson sees in camelina is as a food crop. Its healthy oil is more likely to end up in frying pans than in fuel tanks, and the meal made from it can be fed to livestock and fish to increase their omega-3 levels.
"What people should really be doing with camelina is eating it, not making biodiesel out of it," MSU plant pathologist and institute co-director Alice Pilgeram said, explaining the problem with marketing the plant as a fuel crop. Silly thing! Obviously you can do both!
Currently farmers can make more money selling camelina as a crop to eat rather than a fuel to burn, she said.
Biodiesel made with traditional crops -- such as soy -- costs around $3 a gallon at the pumps. But biodiesel made from camelina could be sold for $2 a gallon, bringing it in line with regular diesel. No! In many places in the United States it’s already the same price. This will make it cheaper than fossil diesel.
This is really exciting stuff! Hope you enjoyed reading it.

Not so fast with the math.

i'm very much interested in producing biodiesel from waste. can you please mail me more about camelina seed? and one more question, is there any other waste that can be used to produce biodiesel?

I am looking for camelina seed to run some field trials. Can ANYONE point me in the right direction? I would like at least 30 pounds of seed.
Thanks

I found this site and became happy! 910493485
