Bagasse is universally used as a fuel source for the milling and refining plants and typically releases enough energy to power other parts of the power grid as well. Workplace exposure to dusts from the processing of bagasse can cause bagassosis, an interstitial lung disease (affecting tissue around air sacs of the lung).

Bagasse is also a by-product of sorghum stalk processing. Most commonly, bagasse is combusted to generate heat and power for processing. The advantage of burning the bagasse is lowering the need for external energy, which in turn also lowers the net carbon footprint and improves the net energy balance of the process.

Bagasse is the matted cellulose fiber residue from sugar cane that has been processed in a sugar mill. Previously, bagasse was burned as a means of solid waste disposal. However, as the cost of fuel oil, natural gas, and electricity has increased, bagasse has come to be regarded as a fuel rather than refuse.

Bagasse is often used as a primary fuel source for sugar mills. When burned in quantity, it produces sufficient heat energy to supply all the needs of a typical sugar mill, with energy to spare. To this end, a secondary use for this waste product is in cogeneration , the use of a fuel source to provide both heat energy, used in the mill, and electricity, which is typically sold on to the consumer electrical grid .
Read MoreThe worldwide harvest of sugarcane for sucrose production represents a major agricultural industry, with approximately Mt 1500 produced annually. The cane yields about 13.5% of its weight as sugar, together with an equal amount (dry weight) of fibrous bagasse as waste.

Dec 22, 2018 · In the case of 50% bagasse humidity, the flame temperature of the burning bagasse may vary from 850 to 920 °C and if the bagasse humidity is less than 35%, the flame temperature may reach 1000 °C . A high combustion temperature within the boiler can result in silica crystallization, which eventually leads to poor SCBA pozzolanic activity [ 39 ].

Bagasse needs to be properly stored so that it doesn’t rot or spontaneously combust. When bagasse is left to rot, it breaks down and releases greenhouse gases, particularly methane, which is 27 times more dangerous to the ozone than carbon dioxide. Wet cellulose, which is the principal component of bagasse, ignites more easily than dry cellulose.
