pennycress, pretreated it with acid, and used a type of alcohol called methanol to react with the field
pennycress oil to produce both biodiesel and glycerol.
4 ha (one acre) of field
pennycress can yield 680 to 907 kg (1,500 to 2,000 lb) of seed, potentially translating to 284 to 379 L (75 to 100 gal) of biodiesel.
