Bagasse is often used as a primary fuel source for sugar mills. when burned in quantity, it produces
sufficient heat energy to supply all the needs of a typical sugar mill, with energy to spare. To this end, a
secondary use for this waste product is in cogeneration, the use of a fuel source to provide both heat
energy, used in the mill, and electricity, which is typically sold on to the consumer electricity grid.
The resulting CO2 emissions are equal to the amount of CO2 that the sugarcane plant used up from the
atmosphere during its growing phase, which makes the process of cogeneration appear to be
greenhouse gas-neutral.
Our Turn Key Systems for making the electricity for the sugar mills
requirement and selling the excess to the grid makes a very profitable
business for any factory around the world.
Bagasse Power Plants
According to a new report from RESEARCH COMPANIES, bagasse-based cogeneration could deliver up to
25% of current power demand requirements in the world main cane producing countries. The overall
potential share in the world major developing country producers exceeds 7%. We estimates that no more
than 15% of this potential has yet been realised. The critical condition for the full exploitation of this major
opportunity is that mill owners should be able to secure competitive rates for the electricity they supply to
the grid or to other power consumers. Currently, these buyback rates only rarely reflect the fair value of
the electricity to the system & disincentivising producers and preventing high efficiency cogeneration
plants from being optimally sized to meet heat demand.
