Overview

Camelina sativa is robust, unpretentious and frugal in relation to climate and soil quality. It is not necessary to fertilize for cultivation of Camelina and it has

a high resistance to frost and dryness. Moreover, the plant is also less susceptible to diseases and pests. 

Shortly: Camelina is ideal for cultivation without using agricultural chemicals. The life cycle assessment of Camelina oil is much better than that of rapeseed oil. An amplified usage of Camelina oil would increase the image of the plant oil, because Camelina can be well combined with organic farming, in contrast to rapeseed. The technical properties of Camelina oil as an energy source

can be optimized – although today Camelina oil already exceeds rapeseed oil at least in one quality: it is more liquid (solidification temperature is - 11 to - 18°C) and therefore it is often mixed with rapeseed oil in winter.
