“…In European fuel tests, cold-pressed and filtered camelina seed oil increased power output and reduced smoke emissions in diesel transport engines as compared with mineral fuel (Bernardo et al 2003). The C. sativa oil also resulted in slightly higher fuel consumption and O 2 and NO emissions (Bernardo et al 2003).…”

The Biology of Canadian Weeds. 142. Camelina alyssum (Mill.) The most common of the three species in North America, C. microcarpa, arrived in the late 19th century, and subsequently appeared at numerous crop and uncultivated sites across the country, probably in cargo as the railways expanded. Camelina alyssum appeared in the early 20th century at restricted sites on the prairies, mostly in Saskatchewan. All three species have diminished in importance as crop weeds in western Canada over the past few decades. This reduction could be related to increased weed control by herbicides. Herbicide-resistant biotypes have recently been reported in C. microcarpa. Camelina sativa has attracted renewed interest as an oil crop, because of an adaptation to various climatic conditions, low nutrient requirements and resistance to disease and pests. In Europe, where it is now widely grown, it has shown considerable potential in the food, animal feed, nutraceutical, paint, dye, cosmetic and biofuel industries. In North America, it is being grown on a trial basis mainly for its potential as a biofuel in Alberta, Saskatchewan, the Maritime Provinces, and the northern United States of America. Cet article dresse le bilan de l'information connue sur la biologie de trois adventices du groupe des crucife`res : Camelina alyssum, C. microcarpa et C. sativa. Camelina sativa qu'on utilise ou cultive pour son huile depuis plusieurs sie`cles en Europe, a e´te´la premie`re a`atteindre l'Ame´rique du Nord comme mauvaise herbe, vers le milieu du XIX e sie`cle. Elle s'est ensuite e´tendue peu a`peu aux Prairies, surtout dans les cultures, pour parvenir en Colombie-Britannique et jusque dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. C. microcarpa, la plus commune des trois espe`ces en sol nord-ame´ricain, a e´te´introduite vers la fin du XIX e sie`cle avant d'apparaıˆtre dans de multiples cultures et terrains incultes du continent, sans doute avec l'expansion du transport des marchandises et du trafic ferroviaire. Camelina alyssum est survenue au de´but du XX e sie`cle a`quelques endroits des Prairies, principalement en Saskatchewan. Les trois espe`ces ont perdu de l'importance en tant que mauvaises herbes dans l'ouest du Canada ces dernie`res de´cennies. On le doit peut-eˆtre a`l'usage accru des herbicides pour lutter contre les adventices. Des biotypes re´sistants aux herbicides ont re´cemment e´te´signale´s pour C. microcarpa. Camelina sativa a suscite´un regain d'inte´reˆt comme ole´agineux, en raison de sa facilite´d'adaptation aux conditions climatiques, de ses faibles exigences nutritives et de sa re´sistance a`la maladie et aux ravageurs. En Europe, ou`on la cultive couramment, cette plante pre´sente un potentiel conside´rable comme culture vivrie`re ou fourrage`re, comme nutraceutique, ainsi que pour les industries de la peinture, des colorants, des cosme´tiques et des biocarburants. En Ame´rique du Nord, on la cultive expe´rimentalement en Alberta, en Saskatchewan, dans les Maritimes et dans le nord des É .-U., principalement en raison de son u...

“…However, the renaissance of this oil happened in the last decade, which can be characterised by the huge amount of studies devoted to false flax. Various applications of camelina oil have been demonstrated, e.g., as a fuel for diesel transport engines (Bernardo et al, 2003) and raw material used for synthesis of biodiesel (Yang et al, 2016), hydrocarbon fuel for jets (Zhao et al, 2015) and alkyd resins (Nosal et al, 2015). Camelina sativa oil is applied for production of potential adhesives containing epoxide (Kim et al, 2015) or acrylate and hydroxyl functionalities .…”

Camelina sativa is well known due to high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in its oil. Till now this oil has been studied mainly for applications as raw material for synthesis of resins, biodiesel and hydrocarbon fuels. This study examines the oxidative stability of cold-pressed Camelina sativa (also known as camelina, false flax or gold-of-pleasure) oil and its extracts of spices. Despite the high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids, Camelina sativa oil appeared more rigid against oxidation than rapeseed or flax oil. Extracts of different spices were prepared by maceration in camelina oil at room temperature for 24 h. The stability of extracts was determined under accelerated oxidation conditions and monitored by peroxide values. Most of the tested additives (e.g., bay leaves, allspice, clove, barley sprouts, coriander, ginger) did not influence or even decreased oxidative stability of the oil. However, oil with thyme additive demonstrated remarkably higher stability then Camelina sativa oil alone. Press-cakes of camelina seeds were extracted with two polar solvents (ethanol or water) and their mixtures under variable conditions (room temperature or reflux). Prepared polar extracts of press-cakes were characterised by total polyphenol content (Folin–Ciocalteu method) and antiradical activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl and galvinoxyl.

“…A simple fuel modification can be obtained by blending the PPO with diesel or biodiesel; Modification of the injection system, fuel preheating and dual fuelling belong to engine adaptation. Heating [90][91][92] and blending [87], [93] of vegetable oils reduce the viscosity but its molecular structure remains unchanged in a polyunsaturated form and low volatility problems exist [30] …”

The pollution caused by fuel combustion either for mechanical or electrical energy generation purposes is nowadays one of the most important environmental issues. It has been proven that combustion emissions, particularly those from cars and trucks, are linked with severe damages to the environment and human health. Along with the environmental problems, is necessary to consider that fossil resources are declining and their exploitation is getting more and more expensive. Bioenergy represent a sustainable solution for energy generation. Bioenergy is renewable energy made from plant-derived organic matter, collectively termed "biomass". Biomass-based energy sources are potentially carbon dioxide neutral and recycle the same carbon atoms. Life cycle assessments are reported to evaluate the net environmental impacts of biofuels. The term biofuel refers to liquid or gaseous fuels for the internal combustion engines that are predominantly produced from biomass. Biofuel policy might capitalize on the production of biofuels supporting rural economic development and sustainable agriculture. Amongst biofuels pure plant oil (PPO) has been investigated. This paper sets out to review the state of the art for PPO use as fuel in diesel engines, based on a wide literature review.
