Bayer Canada Introduces newgold® Seed for Biofuel Markets
Bayer Canada has announced the launch of newgold® seed, its first multi-crop seed brand developed specifically for low-carbon intensity crops. The initiative is designed to help farmers participate in expanding biofuel markets while maintaining operational flexibility at the farm level.
As demand for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel continues to increase, the need for scalable, low-carbon feedstocks has grown. Bayer Canada stated that agriculture can contribute to this transition by supplying oilseed crops that complement, rather than compete with, food production systems.
“Innovation alone won’t make the energy transition real,” said Chad Bilby, Biofuel Crops Innovation and Commercial Lead. “Scale, execution, and market confidence matter. With newgold® seed, we are connecting seed innovation, agronomic performance, and market access into one clear opportunity for farmers.”
