D6.3 – Full value chains for industrial crops

Industrial crops provide valuable resources for bioenergy, biofuels, biochemicals and biomaterials. In the MAGIC project, 20 crops were selected, and these are matched with conversion technologies in this document. For each combination of crop and conversion technology, the suitability of the properties of the crop, TRL, market potential of the end product, and data availability are assessed. A distinction was made between oil crops, lignocellulosic crops, and carbohydrate and multipurpose crops. Due to the different nature of the conversion technologies, these crops are discussed separately.
In total, 140 technically feasible routes were found, of which 82 are the most promising candidates. These results were the basis for the selection of ten promising value chains for the conversion of industrial crops. These ten routes were analysed in detail in order to provide quantitative data for environmental and economic assessments.
