An Experimental Study Of Bagasse And Bagasse Fu... Page

Sugar mills often use bagasse—the fibrous residue from crushed sugarcane—as a primary fuel for cogeneration , generating enough heat and electricity to power operations with surplus energy sold to the grid.

Bagasse and bagasse fly ash represent significant opportunities for enhancing both renewable energy and construction sustainability. Experimental studies show that bagasse is a valuable biofuel with a heating value of approximately , though its high moisture content (45–55%) often necessitates preliminary drying to ensure stable and efficient combustion . Meanwhile, bagasse fly ash (SCBA) is increasingly researched as a sustainable replacement for cement, capable of improving concrete's compressive strength and durability when used at optimal levels (typically around 10% ). 1.
