Oil Crop Platforms for Industrial uses : Outputs from the EPOBIO project

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.
