Global Clean Energy joins National Sorghum Producers industry partner program

-

National Sorghum Producers (NSP) is pleased to announce Global Clean Energy has joined the NSP Industry Partner program as a sponsor.

“We are excited to add a new partner to our valued industry program with the addition of Global Clean Energy,” NSP Industry Relations Director Jamaca Battin said. “Camelina is a rotation option with sorghum and adds one more tool to the toolbox in a world trying to decarboniz­e and seek more clean energy options.”

Global Clean Energy joins NSP as a Contributo­r level sponsor. The company produces renewable diesel from camelina – a crop that provides cover crop benefits while allowing farmers to harvest the crop and earn additive income. Camelina is bred and sold through their subsidiary, Sustainabl­e Oils, Inc., the largest camelina supplier worldwide. Through its membership, Global Clean Energy seeks to provide more benefits to sorghum growers through education on the sustainabl­e rotation benefits of their patented camelina varieties, which use low water, have a quick maturity of 85-105 days and can be harvested using existing equipment.

“We like to say that our camelina protects like a cover crop but pays like a cash crop,” Global Clean Energy Senior Vice President of Global Clean Energy and President of Sustainabl­e Oils Mike Karst said. “Through our partnershi­p with NSP, we are excited to share the benefits of camelina with sorghum producers and work together to build a successful future for growers.”

Support from industry partners like Global Clean Energy helps NSP better advocate, promote and defend sorghum farmers and the industry.
