cake contains glucosinolates, which
may be toxic to animals in large
concentrations.37 However, the heat
produced from crushing pennycress
seeds may reduce the toxicity of the
press cake,38 or pennycress press cake
could be mixed in low amounts with
other seed meal for use as animal feed.39
Alternatively, pennycress press cake
could be used as a biofumigant.40 Based
on our analysis of pennycress oil, which
does not consider use of the press cake,
we have found that the agricultural,
livestock and land use change emissions
associated with producing pennycress
oil are less than or equal to the
corresponding emissions associated
with producing soybean oil. Therefore,
any beneficial use of the pennycress
press cake (e.g., as livestock feed or
boiler fuel) would only serve to make
the GHG emissions associated with
pennycress oil even lower than the
corresponding emissions for soybean
oil.

B. Feedstock Distribution
EPA’s assessment, based on the
following reasoning, is that GHG
emissions from feedstock distribution
will be the same for pennycress as such
emissions for soybeans. Because
pennycress contains more oil per pound
of seed, as discussed above, the energy
needed to move the pennycress before
oil extraction would be lower than
soybeans per ton of oil produced. To the
extent that pennycress is grown on more
disperse fallow land than soybeans and
would need to be transported further,
the energy needed to move the
pennycress could be higher than
soybeans. Therefore, we believe we may
assume for purposes of GHG emissions
assessment that the GHG emissions
associated with transporting pennycress
and soybeans to crushing facilities will
be the same. Pennycress and soybean
oils are quite similar in terms of density
and energy content; therefore, we also
assumed that the GHG emissions from

animal feed products must be approved by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before they
can be sold in the United States. Nothing in EPA’s
analysis should be construed as an official federal
government position regarding the approval or
disapproval of pennycress press cake as an animal
feed. Only FDA is authorized to make that
determination.

transporting the oil from a crushing
facility to a biofuel production facility
would be the same for the two different
feedstocks.
C. Summary of Agricultural Sector GHG
Emissions
Compared to soybean oil, pennycress
oil has less than or equal GHG
emissions per ton of oil from crop
inputs, crushing and oil extraction, and
direct and indirect land use change.
Pennycress and soybean oils are also
likely to have similar GHG emissions
from feedstock distribution. Therefore,
we believe that the feedstock production
and transport portion of the lifecycle
GHG emissions associated with
pennycress are likely to be similar to or
less than the GHG emissions for the
corresponding portion of the lifecycle
analysis for soybean oil. EPA’s purpose
in evaluating petitions under 40 CFR
80.1416 is not to prepare a precise
lifecycle GHG emissions analysis of
every fuel type, but to gather sufficient
information on which to inform its
decision of whether proposed biofuels
qualify under the program in terms of
lifecycle GHG emissions reduction.
Based on our comparison of pennycress
oil to soybean oil, EPA proposes to use,
in its future evaluations of petitions
proposing to use pennycress oil as a
feedstock for biofuel production, an
estimate of the GHG emissions
associated with the cultivation and
transport of pennycress oil that is the
same as that which we have used for
soybean oil, on a per ton of oil basis.
Although EPA could conduct a more
precise analysis, we do not believe it is
necessary for purposes of the
determinations EPA must make in
responding to petitions. EPA solicits
comment on this proposed approach.
D. Fuel Production and Distribution
Pennycress oil has physical properties
that are similar to soybean and camelina
oil, and is suitable for the same
conversion processes as these
feedstocks. In addition, the fuel yield
per pound of oil is expected to be the
same for each of these feedstocks. After
reviewing comments received in
response to this Notice, we will
combine our evaluation of agricultural
sector GHG emissions associated with
the use of pennycress oil feedstock with
our evaluation of the GHG emissions
associated with individual producers’
production processes and finished fuels
to determine whether the proposed
pathways satisfy CAA lifecycle GHG
emissions reduction requirements for
RFS-qualifying renewable fuels. Based
on our evaluation of the lifecycle GHG
emissions attributable to the production
PO 00000

and transport of pennycress oil
feedstock, EPA anticipates that fuel
produced from pennycress oil feedstock
through the same transesterification or
hydrotreating process technologies that
EPA evaluated for the March 2010 RFS
rule for biofuel derived from soybean oil
and the March 2013 RFS rule for biofuel
derived from camelina oil would qualify
for biomass-based diesel (D-code 4)
RINs or advanced (D-code 5) RINs.41
However, EPA will evaluate petitions
for fuel produced from pennycress oil
feedstock on a case-by-case basis.
III. Summary
EPA invites public comment on its
analysis of GHG emissions associated
with the production and transport of
pennycress oil as a feedstock for biofuel
production. EPA will consider public
comments received when evaluating the
lifecycle GHG emissions of biofuel
production pathways described in
petitions received pursuant to 40 CFR
80.1416 which use pennycress oil as a
feedstock.
