1. 1. Comparison of Pre- and Post-treatments of Sugarcane Industry By-products to Increase Biomethane Production

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema

   Author : Baitong Huang; [2020]
   Keywords : Biomethane potential; sugarcane straw; filter cake; vinasse; co-digestion; autoclaving treatment; NaOH treatment; Brazil;

   Abstract : Even though the Brazilian ethanol and sugar production system (based on sugarcane industry) have been providing large amounts of bioenergy, the extensive amounts of organic wastes generated cannot be ignored when it comes to sustainability.

3. 2. COMPARATIVE ENERGY AND GREENHOUSE GAS ANALYSES BETWEEN SMALL- AND LARGE-SCALE SUGARCANE PRODUCTION IN MAURITIUS

   University essay from KTH/Energi och klimatstudier, ECS

   Author : James Kong-Win Chang; [2013]
   Keywords : energy analysis; greenhouse gas analysis; sugarcane agriculture; cultivation scale; Mauritius; smallholders; millers; mechanical and manual operations; sugarcane bioenergy system;

   Abstract : This study uses energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) balances to evaluate how the scale of sugarcane cultivation affects the performance of a sugarcane bioenergy system generating exportable electricity from bagasse. Small-, medium-, large- and miller-planter systems, with cane field areas of less than 10 ha, 10 – 42 ha, 42 – 2000 ha, more than 2000 ha respectively, were modelled. READ MORE
