sugarcane bagasse
Sugarcane bagasse is the fibrous residue left after extracting juice from the sugarcane plant. It is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, making it a valuable byproduct in the sugar industry. Bagasse is often used as a renewable energy source, as it can be burned to produce steam and electricity.
In addition to energy production, sugarcane bagasse is utilized in various applications, including the manufacturing of biodegradable packaging, paper products, and composite materials. Its high fiber content and sustainability make it an attractive alternative to traditional materials, contributing to environmental conservation efforts.
