- Socioeconomic evaluation of sugarcane bioenergy sustainable production in Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa, BP.IC
Abstract
From the socioeconomics point-of-view, the bioenergy derived from sugarcane stands for the great capacity of job creation (direct and indirect) and yield, because of the high capillarity, locally, in comparison to the oil and derivatives. From the environment point-of-view, as flexible culture, highly sustainable, high potential to mitigate the climate change effects and the possibility...
- Energy evaluation of a cookstove using ethanol derived from sugarcane , BP.IC
Abstract
The usage of wood as the only energy source for cooking in some developing countries is still a tough reality. In Latin America, the dependency on that kind of energy source corresponds to approximately 15%, whereas it raises up to 67% in Africa and even 80% in Sub-Saharan Africa, indicating how harsh is the reality for the latter areas. The high dependency on traditional biomass energy...
- Assessment of sustainable production potential of sugarcane bioenergy in South Africa, Mozambique, Colombia and Guatemala, BP.PD
Abstract
Around 60% of the total world's potentially available land could be used to produce bioenergy by 2050 (440 Mha), of which almost 100% are placed in Latin America & Caribbean and Africa. In this sense, it is clear that the world will depend on these continents for future expansion of bioenergy. However, the advance of modern energy alternatives may face challenges such as technical, envi...

- Successful strategies for bioenergy scale-up: scaling up sustainable sugarcane, BE.PQ
Abstract
This project aims to assist IRENA in preparing a report on Scaling Up Sustainable Sugarcane Bioenergy [in Africa and the Caribbean], which will assess bioethanol potential from sugarcane and energy cane, the costs of sugarcane or energy cane bioethanol compared with petroleum-derived petrol, the costs of electricity from sugarcane or energy residues compared with electricity from other ...
