Analysis of Five Export Chains for Bio–Products
The method was used in the Ukraine, a country that is currently facing many challenges but which has considerable potential when it comes to biomass source materials. Van Dam: “We analysed five biobased export chains in the Ukraine, including a chain for producing polylactic acid from maize, which can then be used in various biobased plastics, chemicals or fuels. Another example is the chain for the production of bio-ethanol and biobased polyethylene from sugar beet.”
Well-Founded Choices for Biobased Bulks
The analyses showed that it may be cheaper to convert crops into biobased bulk products in the Ukraine itself, but that the Netherlands achieves better marks for issues such as market demand, supply security, infrastructure and logistics. In addition, the analyses showed that more value can be created from by-products in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) financed the project as part of the Netherlands Programma Sustainable Biomass.
