CoverCress Inc. is an agricultural innovation company specializing in CoverCress®, a unique winter oilseed crop derived from field pennycress. Designed to fit within traditional corn and soybean rotations, it provides farmers with an additional revenue source while enhancing soil health and reducing erosion. The crop’s oil serves as a sustainable feedstock for renewable fuels, and its high-protein meal is suitable for animal feed. In partnership with Bunge and Chevron, CoverCress Inc. is working to expand the commercialization of this climate-smart solution. The company gained further backing when Bayer acquired a majority stake in 2022. Recognized for its sustainability efforts, CoverCress Inc. received the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Pioneers Award in 2024. By combining innovative agriculture with renewable energy solutions, the company plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and promoting environmentally friendly farming practices, contributing to a more sustainable global fuel supply chain.
