Summary
Once at the mill, cane stalks are crushed to extract sucrose, which is then refined to make table sugar, fuel ethanol or other products. In Brazil, the leftover biomass (known as bagasse) is burned in high-efficiency boilers to make the mill completely self-sufficient while generating surplus electricity that supplies about 5% of the country’s growing energy needs. As mechanical harvesting increases, more biomass will be available for electricity generation and to produce cellulosic biofuels.
