Is sugar cane used to generate GreenPower?
Yes, sugarcane waste (known as bagasse) is used to generate GreenPower. Bagasse refers to the fibrous residue of sugarcane stalks that remain after the cane is crushed to extract the juice. This waste is burned in a boiler, which produces steam that passes through a steam turbine and generates electricity. This electricity is used in the plant and any excess is sold back to the local electricity grid.
