Federal incentives, growing consumer demand, and supportive policies are driving efforts by the automotive industry to scale up production and uptake of electric vehicles.

Key Points:

Federal incentives, growing consumer demand, and supportive policies are driving efforts by the automotive industry to scale up production and uptake of electric vehicles.
However, scaling further requires transformative change to infrastructure and environmental regulatory programs – as one report participant put it, "everything has to change."
Although the federal government has offered significant incentives to accelerate production, auto manufacturers have been left scrambling to unpick complex infrastructure permitting rules.
Dan Anziska, Partner at Troutman Pepper explains: "A lot needs to happen for EVs by 2026 to be widely adopted.

WOBURN, Mass., March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:YTEN) (“Yield10” or the “Company”), an agricultural bioscience company, today announced that USDA-APHIS’s Biotechnology Regulatory Services (“BRS”) has determined that Yield10’s Camelina sativa ("Camelina”) varieties developed using genetic engineering (modified Camelina) to produce omega-3 fatty acids are not subject to the regulations under 7 CFR part 340, and may be grown and bred in the United States. The global markets for omega-3 fatty acids include aquafeed used for salmon and trout farming, pet feed, baby formula, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. Most omega-3 fatty acids are produced from ocean-caught fish. Production constraints and supply volatility of traditional fish oil sources are creating gaps in supply and driving the growing demand for new sources of omega-3. Utilizing Camelina as a land-based production platform has the potential to provide a new, reliable supply for omega-3 fatty acids. Yield10’s submissions along with the USDA-APHIS BRS responses are posted on the USDA’s website.

Key Points:

Utilizing Camelina as a land-based production platform has the potential to provide a new, reliable supply for omega-3 fatty acids.
An RSR filed in July 2023 covers Camelina engineered to produce eicosapentaenoic acid (“EPA”) where the engineered omega-3 Camelina produces oil containing approximately 16-20% EPA.
In 2020, Yield10 signed a collaboration agreement with Rothamsted to support Rothamsted’s Flagship Program to develop omega-3 oils in Camelina.
Yield10 is also engineering second generation omega-3 Camelina lines with herbicide tolerance traits to enable weed control in large-scale commercial planting of the crop.
