“…Agronomic management refers to the practice of minimizing input factors such as fertilizer, irrigation, tillage, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides to maximize crop yield outputs such as seed yield, oil content, and biodiesel production. Many reviews report on various aspects of its general use as an oilseed crop [ 2 , 4 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ], and as a platform for the production of biofuels [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ] and industrial lipids [ 1 , 6 , 8 ]. After providing some essential background, we summarize the present status of C. sativa research and identify areas for its future improvement with a particular emphasis on enhancing the climate resilience of this highly versatile crop.…”

Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz. is an annual oilseed crop within the Brassicaceae family. C. sativa has been grown since as early as 4000 BCE. In recent years, C. sativa received increased attention as a climate-resilient oilseed, seed meal, and biofuel (biodiesel and renewable or green diesel) crop. This renewed interest is reflected in the rapid rise in the number of peer-reviewed publications (>2300) containing “camelina” from 1997 to 2021. An overview of the origins of this ancient crop and its genetic diversity and its yield potential under hot and dry growing conditions is provided. The major biotic barriers that limit C. sativa production are summarized, including weed control, insect pests, and fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens. Ecosystem services provided by C. sativa are also discussed. The profiles of seed oil and fatty acid composition and the many uses of seed meal and oil are discussed, including food, fodder, fuel, industrial, and medical benefits. Lastly, we outline strategies for improving this important and versatile crop to enhance its production globally in the face of a rapidly changing climate using molecular breeding, rhizosphere microbiota, genetic engineering, and genome editing approaches.

“…Initially, Camelina was introduced to these countries as a contaminant in flax seeds or other cultivated plants. Later, it was domesticated as an oilseed crop (Agarwal et al, 2021). The seeds of Camelina are small-sized and have an oil content ranging from 35 to 45% by weight.…”

“…Biodiesel can be produced from a wide variety of feedstocks, including edible and inedible vegetable oils (Gale et al, 2019;Adeleke & Babalola, 2020;Blume et al 2020;Osorio-González et al 2020;Agarwal et al 2021;Dey et al 2021;Ewunie et al, 2021;Russo et al 2021;Durango-Giraldo et al 2022;Ahmia et al, 2014;Alloune et al, 2012), animal fats, waste vegetable oils, and microalgae. However, biodiesel production raises significant sustainability and ethical concerns directly related to the sourcing of raw materials, food security, deforestation, and biodiversity loss.…”

Research and development of affordable, sustainable, and low-carbon energy sources capable of reducing dependence on fossil fuels, contributing to social and economic development, and improving environmental and health skills have become a global priority. In recent decades, biodiesel produced from oilseeds has received significant attention as an alternative biofuel. However, the use of first-generation oilseed crops has sparked controversy, and the use of local non-edible feedstocks is considered a promising alternative. The motivation behind this review is to provide an alternative and enlightening perspective on the use of non-edible vegetable oils for biodiesel production, with a particular focus on the current state of biodiesel production in Algeria. The objective is to assess the conditions under which this production could be sustainable and environmentally friendly while maintaining a balance between energy needs, economic stability, and environmental impact.

The growing demand for energy resources and the increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions has given biofuels a lot of attention. Liquid biofuels can be a significant alternative for the transport sector. Generally, biofuels are categorized into four generations based on the feedstock. This review reports the availability, economic feasibility, and potential of biofuel feedstock in global scenario. Feedstock for first-generation biofuel comprises edible resources impacting the food supply. Second generation biofuels are based on different residual materials and nonedible fuel crops. Cost and technological limita-tions for commercialization hinders this option. Microalgae are the feedstock for third generation biofuels providing the highest yield compared to the other two generations. A scale-up to commercial level is not possible as this requires further development. Genetically modified microorganisms are used as a feedstock for fourth generation biofuel production with the highest possible yield. Third and fourth generation biofuels have potential to replace fossil fuels. This review recommends certain suggestions for sustainable biofuel production.
