June 23, 2015 at 05:32PM Sugarcane: a crop that also produces energy

With the growth in demand for biofuels, using sugarcane by-products such as bagasse and ethanol could become more cost-effective. However, it is necessary to determine the conditions in which production could be both optimum and compatible with high sugar yields. A team from CIRAD, working with the eRcane firm, embarked upon a complex, novel study of the entire production chain, from plot to mill, to determine the impact of production factors on biomass yield and quality, and on aerial biomass distribution between food and energy production.
