This study focusses on the production of vegetable oil based products. A limited number of aspacts of the sustainability of the full chain (from agriculture to product at the factory gate) was evaluated. Three different vegetable oils were taken into account: palm oil, soy oil and rapeseed oil. Also three different products made from vegetable oil were evaluated: biodiesel, polyol (a raw material for production of PU foams) and resin. In the present study, sustainability of these products was evaluated through the following parameters: Non-Renewable Energy Usage (NREU) (GJ per ton of product); Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions (ton CO2-equivalent per ton of product); Land use (ha/ton vegetable oil) and NREU and GHG emission avoided (GJ or ton CO2-equivalent per hectare of land).

EPOBIO is an international project to realise the economic potential of plant-derived raw materials by designing new generations of bio-based products that will reach the marketplace 10-15 years from now. This report addresses the establishment of industrial crop platforms for oil.

In Duitsland kunnen automobilisten bij één op de acht pompstations biodiesel tanken en in Denemarken draait menig stadsverwarming op stro en houtsnippers. Maar Nederland bakt er nog weinig van. Ondernemers in duurzame energie stuiten hier op een muur van regelingen en een ongunstig investeringsklimaat, verzuchten energie- en biomassadeskundigen van Wageningen Universiteit en de TU Eindhoven

This report provides an insight into the conditions under which the Dutch agricultural industry will cultivate oilseed rape for biodiesel. The Dutch agricultural entrepreneur occupies a central role in this. The possibilities relating to the cultivation of oilseed rape are assessed from the perspective of the Dutch farmer, within the framework of the EU directive regarding the substitution of 2% of transport fuels with bio transport fuels in the Netherlands. Along with bio-ethanol, biodiesel is an important bio transport fuel. One of the raw materials used in the production of biodiesel is (cultivated) oilseed rape.

Dit rapport geeft inzicht in de voorwaarden waaronder het Nederlandse landbouwbedrijfsleven koolzaad zullen telen voor biodiesel. Daarbij staat de Nederlandse landbouwondernemer centraal. Vanuit het perspectief van de Nederlandse landbouwer worden de mogelijkheden voor koolzaadteelt beoordeeld. Dit in het kader van de EU-richtlijn om te komen tot een vervanging van 2% van de transportbrandstoffen door biotransportbrandstoffen in Nederland. Naast bio-ethanol is biodiesel daarin een belangrijke (bio)transportbrandstof. Eén van de grondstoffen voor biodiesel is (geteelde) koolzaad.
