Sugarcane bagasse: a biomass sufficiently applied for improving global energy, environment and economic sustainability

Abstract

Highlights Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) has been identified as a biomass that is abundantly available and can be harnessed for various applications. To optimally utilise SCB for its numerous applications, pre-treatment and hydrolysis are important processes. Various biofuels such as bio-ethanol, bio-methane, bio-hydrogen and bio-butanol have been successfully produced using SCB as a feedstock. Apart from being a source of energy, SCB is a sustainable feedstock for the productions of adsorbent, briquette, ceramic, concrete and composite. The SCB is a biomass that can be sufficiently applied for improving global energy, environment and economic sustainability.
