Sustainable Oils Building Markets for Camelina Oil and Meal; Seeing Strong
Momentum for New Crop

Company Leaders Briefed Montana Governor and State Officials about Progress in
Developing Sustainable Camelina Industry in North America

BOZEMAN, Mont., June 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Sustainable Oils continues to build
markets and momentum for the commercial camelina business in Montana, the
Pacific Northwest, and southern Canada. The company has secured sales
contracts for the camelina oil and camelina meal from its 2008 harvested crop.
The harvested camelina seeds are currently being crushed by Montana Specialty
Mills in Great Falls, Montana.

Last week, Sustainable Oils leaders briefed Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer
and other state officials including Ron de Young, director of Montana
Department of Agriculture, and Evan Barrett, chief business officer, on the
progress of the company and camelina within the state and across North
America.

"We're seeing growing interest and demand for both camelina oil and camelina
meal as customers see the opportunities and benefits of the crop," said Scott
Johnson, president of Sustainable Oils. "Our goal is to build a strong,
sustainable foundation for the camelina industry, and creating markets for
both oil and meal is essential."

The jet fuel market has emerged as a strong business opportunity for camelina
oil and camelina producers. Johnson said that virtually all of the camelina
oil produced by Sustainable Oils in 2009 will be used to produce aviation fuel
and green diesel for further market development.

A recent life cycle analysis (LCA) of jet fuel created from camelina seeds
conducted at Michigan Tech University in conjunction with UOP, a Honeywell
Company, and Sustainable Oils found that the renewable fuel reduces carbon
emissions by 80 percent compared to petroleum jet fuel. In January, Japan
Airlines (JAL) conducted a successful demonstration flight using a sustainable
biofuel primarily produced from camelina.

Sustainable Oils has contracted camelina meal, a by-product of camelina oil
extraction, for sale to poultry broiler production. Camelina meal can be a
valuable source of protein for livestock and poultry producers. With protein
levels of 40 percent or more, it provides similar overall protein as soybean
meal with the added benefits of camelina's unique amino acid and fatty acid
profile.

The company is working with other members of the North America Camelina Trade
Association (NACTA), to secure regulatory approvals for feeding camelina meal.
Earlier this year, the FDA issued a letter allowing the use of camelina meal
in the diets of chicken broilers up to 10 percent of the weight of the total
ration. NACTA members are working with the FDA and the American Association of
Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) to secure "Generally Recognized as Safe"
certification for poultry and additional livestock species such as swine, beef
cattle, and dairy cattle.

"We're excited about the 2009 camelina crop that is currently planted across
Montana and southern Canada," said Johnson. "We received an excellent
response from growers this year and are looking forward to offering contracts
for significantly more acres in 2010."

Growers who are interested in additional information or contracting
opportunities for the 2010 growing season should register on the Sustainable
Oils web site at www.susoils.com.

Sustainable Oils has the largest camelina research program in the nation. The
company's camelina breeding program began in 2005 and has steadily expanded to
include more than 40 trials across North America in 2008. The company is also
evaluating more than 90 breeding populations of camelina to analyze agronomic
and oil qualities and to develop new high-yielding varieties.
