Sugarcane is one of the most important/most promising energy crops due to its high primary energy per cultivated area (approximately 600 GJ/ha), but the straw is still underused for electricity generation by the plants. LNBR led SUCRE (Sugarcane Renewable Electricity), a five-year project funded by the Global Environment Facility through the United Nations Development Programme to increase the supply of low-GHG electricity through the generation of bioelectricity from straw. SUCRE is a legacy from 2015 to 2020. This collaboration involved 20 partners who addressed the following main topics: Technologies for straw collection, processing and burning; Economic feasibility of electricity generation in power plants; Environmental and agronomic impacts of straw collection; Legal and Regulatory Framework for the electricity sector; and the Integrated Assessment of the technical, economic, environmental and social impacts of increased straw use for electricity production.
