E!4018- CAMELINA-BIOFUEL

Development Of Technology To Manufacture Biofuels Using Camelina Sativa Oil As New Raw Material Base

Started in 2007 in cooperation with Poznań University of Life Sciences, Lithuanian University of Agriculture (Lithuania), Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture (Lithuania), Wiroma Robert Artur Janeczek (Poland), JSC "Mestilla" in Klaipeda (Lithuania), Institute for Fuels and Renewable Energy (Poland) and Maritime Institute of the Klaipeda University (Lithuania). It ended in 2011.

The aim of the project was the acquiring a new source of fats, camelina oil (oil from camelina sativa), and afterward developing it for production of fatty acids methyl esters as a biocomponent of diesel oil for diesel engines or biocomponent of light heating oils. Realization of the project was to help in obtaining new energy source in form of renewable fuels.
