Technological challenges With the end of sugarcane burning, besides becoming a necessity, straw collection has become an opportunity for energy generation and, consequently, an increase in the cash flow of sugarcane companies. The lack of organized and trustworthy information of processes and technologies used for this purpose adds complexity in the search for solutions inherent…
Legal & regulatory framework One of the obstacles that has hampered production of energy from straw and sugarcane bagasse is the current legislation of the Brazilian electricity sector. The SUCRE Project elaborated a detailed study of laws that govern the electricity sector, identifying bottlenecks and suggesting improvements that facilitate the commercialization of energy by sugarcane…
Agri-environmental impacts Through field experiments in several regions of Brazil, SUCRE Project’s team aims to understand the agronomic and environmental effects of straw collection on soil, considering different soil and climate characteristics. Results of the evaluation will be compiled in a good practice guide which will help planning and management of straw collection activity, aiming…
Economic Feasibility Evaluation of economic feasibility of sugarcane straw for bioelectricity generation is essential to guide decision-making in the sugarcane sector. In addition to being clean and sustainable, the energy generated from sugarcane straw has enormous potential for expansion In Brazil. For that to be achieved, generation needs to be economically viable. Therefore, detailed economic…
Dissemination The wide dissemination of the results from studies on sugarcane straw collection for electricity generation all over the sugarcane sector is among SUCRE Project’s main goals. The lack of organized and reliable information on the subject Is one of the bottlenecks the SUCRE proposes to overcome. For this reason, in addition to the commitment…
Tools As a legacy of the SUCRE Project, in addition to the documents summarizing results obtained over five years, there will be two tools available at the LNBR website for all interested parties. One of them is the map of the areas suitable and unsuitable for straw collection, considering aspects of soil conservation and maintenance…
