Perhaps I oversimplified in an attempt to explain the problem in what is essentially a lay forum.
Additionally, I am not an expert on polymerization chemisty, as previously stated, so I bow to your expertise you have stated the point better than I.

Enough heat from any source can cause polymerization to accelerate.
Not sure what effect the UV would have, I know that some research has shown that exposure to sunlight will cause BD to oxidize and polymerize at faster than normal rate.
I saw a paper that recommended storing in a glass lined metal tank with nitrogen in the head space, if long term storage is necessary.

Here is one of the studies I looked at that discusses Camelina
