Sugarcane Residual Fuels : a viable substitute for fossil fuels in the Tanzanian sugar industry

• Before harvesting cane fields, cane wastes with an energy equivalent of up to four barrels of oil per acre are usually burnt. In many developing countries, this energy could be used to reduce dependence on fossil fuels as well as reduce the negative effects of global warming. A study at the Tanganyika Planting Company (TPC) sugar mill in Tanzania illustrates the possibilities of increasing power generation in a manner that is both economically and environmentally advantageous.
