Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. is an agricultural bioscience company dedicated to commercializing sustainable products derived from Camelina sativa, an oilseed crop. The company focuses on two main business segments: the production of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) through genetically engineered Camelina seeds, which aims to provide a reliable alternative to fish oil for aquaculture and animal feed, and the utilization of Camelina seed oil as a low-carbon intensity feedstock for biofuels like biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel. Yield10's innovative approach seeks to address the growing supply gap in omega-3 ingredients while contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
The company has recently shifted its strategy in the biofuels sector to offer research and development services to partners interested in Camelina for biofuels, facilitating licensing opportunities based on its advanced technology. With regulatory approvals for its engineered Camelina lines, Yield10 is well-positioned to scale its omega-3 oil production and to further develop Camelina as a popular cover crop, tapping into significant market demand while fostering sustainability in agriculture. As Yield10 continuously enhances its crop through biotechnology, it aims to create robust value chains that benefit growers and consumers alike.
