CamelinaThis conventionally farmed annual plant can tolerate low rainfall, low nitrogen, and cold and are suitable for growing on marginal agricultural lands. It is often used as a rotational crop to restore and stabilize soil. Commercial levels of feedstocks are available today. |
|
JatrophaJatropha is non-edible, resistant to drought, and produces seed with 27-40% oil. The plant grows well on non-arable land and potentially can help fight desertification in arid regions. Commercial supplies should be available in 2-3 years. |

 |
HalophytesThese plants naturally grow in saline habitats, salt marshes, saline semi-deserts, mangrove swamps, sloughs and seashores. One variety has seeds with an oil content approaching 30%. Commercial viability expected in 3-4 years. |
 |
AlgaeThere are simple photosynthetic organisms with some capable of producing 30 times more oil per acre than current feedstock crops. However, commercialization of algae for aviation biofuel may take several years. |
