The Pennycress Company bioengineers and commercializes improved varieties of field pennycress, a winter oilseed crop that produces additional low-carbon feedstock without displacing food production or requiring land-use change. Grown between corn and soybean seasons, pennycress utilizes existing farmland and infrastructure while delivering measurable soil and environmental benefits. When crushed, pennycress yields a vegetable oil well-suited for biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel pathways. The oil’s production as an overwinter crop enables favorable lifecycle carbon intensity outcomes, supporting LCFS, 45Z, and other clean fuel programs. The resulting high-protein meal provides a valuable co-product for animal feed markets. By focusing on yield improvement and sustainability, The Pennycress Company aims to expand domestic, low-CI oilseed supply for renewable fuel producers seeking scalable, compliance-ready feedstocks.
