Abstract

The increasing demand, growing prices and depleting resources of fossil fuels were diverting the attention towards the alternate energy source. The scenario of Pakistani sugar industries were presented in this research paper specially the bagasse production and their usa for cogeneration. The bagasse content moisture 53%, dissolved substance 2-5% and fiber content 47-56%. The bulk density of bagasse in sugarcane was 45kg/L. The bagasse content in sugarcane was 24-28%. The bagasse cogeneration was the prominent and suitable option against the fossil fuels because of emission free burning, viable for energy generation in sugar mill and surplus to sell.
