Abstract
The objective of The Whole Crop Biorefinery Project is to develop, test and evaluate the integrated biorefinery concept with the intention of finding new utilizations and markets for agricultural crops, especially for non-food purposes (such as energy). The project is divided up into 6 subprojects which are the selection of the most suitable plant species based on the botanical, physical, chemical and cultivation-related characteristics in relation to the utilization of the entire plant, development and testing of methods for pretreatment and storage of unprocessed or wet-separated crops, and of mechanical, physical and biochemical techniques for separation and refining of crops with the intention of producing oil, protein, starch, fibres and various by-products, testing and evaluation of products with a view to utilization, future markets and sales, and the development of a systems model to make it possible to carry out systems analyses, market analyses and economic evaluations of full-scale biorefinery systems in order to illuminate the consequences for agriculture, industry and local communities subject to conditions which are relevant in different European contexts. There are possibilities for achieving a positive economic result at a biorefinery system based on a whole-crop wheat consisting of a dry and wet milling line for

There are possibilities for achieving a positive economic result at a biorefinery system based on a whole-crop wheat consisting of a dry and wet milling line for the seed part and a fractionating line for straw. A biorefinery system based only on straw fractionating and the sale of unprocessed seeds can earn a small profit. A biorefinery system based on the enzymatic extraction of rapeseed oil and rapeseed protein and a straw line shows a negative result. The saleable product is rapeseed oil. The biorefinery projects and their utilization potential and economic aspects are described and conditions and possibilities for commercial breakthrough are discussed. (AB)}
