4 WASHINGTON OILSEEDS CROPPING SYSTEMS: TEN YEARS LATER, AND TEN YEARS+ INTO THE FUTURE Bill Pan, WSU, Mary Beth Lang, WSDA, Jeff Schibel, WA Oilseed Commission

5 PNW Oilseed History: PUSH 1977: PNNL report viability of PNW oilseed-based biodiesel : PUSH oilseeds as alternative crop: UI, OSU, WSU, USDA: varieties, agronomy, pests, biodiesel research

6 Early Movers and Shakers Tristate PNW:ID, WA, OR 1980s: Auld, Kephart, Peterson, Murray, Morrison, Hang, Davis, Thornton + industry and early adopting farmers (e.g. Hennings) 1990s- present: Brown and Davis, UI canola breeding; Wysocki, OSU canola agronomy, second wave adopters, e.g. Stubbs, Schibel, Dewald

7 Oilseeds and Biofuels in Washington State, 2017 Mary Beth Lang, Bioenergy Coordinator Bioenergy Goals Reduce dependence on foreign oil Improve environment / public health Support WA agriculture and rural economy

8 State Action Strategies Invest in cropping systems research Grow oilseed/biofuel crops Use in state Process at in-state crushers / refineries Incentivize investment in processing facilities Require biodiesel use; Ensure quality

9 Grow = Invest in research & extension Washington Biofuels Cropping Systems Initiated in August Initial state funding was $500,000 annually, now $300,000/yr. Rebranded in 2013: WA Oilseed Cropping Systems projects each year; interdisciplinary research & extension team. Goal: Increase oilseed acreage from <1% to 10% of crop acreage by Washington State Dept. of Agriculture January

16 Process in-state = Incentivize investment in processing infrastructure Oilseed Crusher Biodiesel Processor Crush capacity = 350,000 acres Refining capacity = 1.5 mil acres If yield is 1 T/ac

17 WA Biodiesel Production REG Grays Harbor 100 MGY capacity. Recently saw highest production ever. Receives canola oil from Pacific Coast Canola. Odessa 8 MGY capacity. Integrated oilseed crusher/biodiesel production facility. Idle since General Biodiesel, Seattle 5 MGY capacity; restarted production in fall Feedstock: used cooking oil. Primarily selling into Oregon. Sequential Pacific, Salem, OR 17 MGY capacity. Collects substantial amount of used cooking oil in Washington. Washington State Dept. of Agriculture January

18 Market Drivers for Biodiesel Renewable Fuel Standards (RFS) Federal RFS2 Requires 36 billion gallons of renewable transportation fuel by 2022 Our neighbors Oregon: B2 in 2009, B5 in 2011 British Columbia: 4% biodiesel California: Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) WA: 2% biodiesel by volume (not functional) Industry Renewable Fuel Initiatives Military Commercial Aviation State and federal policy continue to support biofuels Government Use Requirements

19 U.S. Biodiesel Production & Consumption Production RFS Million Gallons Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Washington State Dept. of Agriculture January

20 Use = Require use in state; Ensure quality State agency biodiesel purchases top 1 million gallons for 4th year in a row. State Ferries standard is B5. State Fleets average 14% biodiesel Western WA: B20; Eastern WA B5-B10 in winter, B20 in summer. Must be at least 51% in-state produced or feedstock-sourced. 1,200,000 State Agency Biodiesel Purchases 1,000, , , , ,000 B100 Gallons Testing and use continue to show no biodieselrelated fuel quality issues Washington State Dept. of Agriculture January

21 What s ahead Market demand for WA oilseeds strong WA crushing and biodiesel facilities interested in WA feedstocks Market demand for renewable fuels strong RFS Renewable Volume Obligation (RVO) increases already in place CA, OR and Canadian market demands continuing Alternative Jet Fuel demand strong WA consumption increase driven by state and local govt demand WOCS to continue and evolve in response to market and grower needs Washington State Dept. of Agriculture January

22 NEAR TERM FUTURE FOR WOCS Focus on oilseeds until WA Oilseed Commission (and Growers Association?) are well established. ~3-500,000 WA acres will generate commission funds equivalent to WOCS state operational support. Invest in applied, peer-reviewed applied science for ipnw production guidelines Seed money for innovative basic science Outreach efforts-workshops, field days, grower guides. Sustain THE land-grant NETWORK: universities/usda/producer/agribusiness/marketing collaboration

23 Canada and Australia Canola Movements Compared to PNW Earlier and Faster Based on food market drivers rather than biofuel Became major commodity within years PNW movement constrained by policies, market and agronomic instability.

24 PNW Canola Future Looks Bright in a World of Changing Climates Local market stabilization More supportive farm policies Better variety options, agribusiness support Worldwide growth of oil and feed markets Rotational benefits in all PNW production zones

25 Winter crops recommended to leverage predicted increases in winter precip. (like this year), and to minimize crop stresses of warmer, drier summers predicted by climate change models.

26 Research Focus Winter canola establishment, overwintering and general agronomic management for low to intermediate zones. Water and N use and management Mowing, grazing, seeding dates Seed bed management of residue and soil, and planting configuration Other oilseeds Release of camelina varieties Safflower or sunflower? Fundamental biology of oilseed seedling height Farm-scale spring and winter canola variety trials-viterra partnership Canola-wheat-herbicide rotations Agronomics Economics Weed and disease cycles

27 Project Outcomes Furthering Adoption of Oilseed Cropping Systems New fact sheets and upcoming tristate PNW canola production handbook Re-energized WOC, new discussions of PNW growers association Strengthen the whole system network supply chain Commitments of supporting agribusinesses and processors to the PNW Feedback to policy makers

28 FUTURE FOR WOCS LONG TERM Sustain our focus on improving and diversifying wheat based PNW agriculture Broaden scope to foster other alternative crops, crop systems Use ipnw network as platform for garnering federal support RECURRENT THEMES: win-win scenarios for addressing economic and environmental problems ITS ALWAYS ABOUT keeping farms in business, agribusinesses healthy, and growing family legacies, while. 20 th century: from Fulmer, Spillman to Tristate STEEP (acronym quiz) and CP3: protecting soil, water and air quality 21 st century: more of same, AND climate change ADAPTATION and mitigation.
