Sugarcane Renewable Electricity (SUCRE)
Project Summary
The objective of the project is to create the conditions for sugar mills to increase the export of electricity generated by sugar cane trash and bagasse to the grid. This will be achieved by promoting the use of trash (sugarcane tops and leaves) as additional fuel to bagasse in the sugar mills, increasing the capacity of sugar mills to export electricity to the grid by approximately 70% from the baseline scenario.
