 Studies have shown camelina-based jet fuel reduces net carbon emissions by about 80%.The United States Navy chose it as the feedstock for their first test of aviation biofuel, and successfully operated a static F414 engine (used in the F/A-18 Hornet and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet) in October 2009 at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland.The United States Air Force also began testing the fuel in its aircraft in March 2010.
