I have a cutting board made of compress wheat chaff, I thought it would fall apart quickly but its been over a year and many trips in the dishwasher. Still going strong. Maybe Sugar cane biomass can be recycles like the wheat chaff.

Hi Salman,
Typically what is the price of sugarcane bales in india , is it commercialy viable to produce and sell them? do the cement factories use them as flue for their ciln?

In reply to Salikh Nazeer.

Thanks for the query.
Sugarcane trash is around 15% of the total above ground sugarcane at harvest which means if we have 1 ton of sugarcane at harvest, there will be around 150 kg of sugarcane trash.
Hope I have been of some help.
Best wishes
Salman

In reply to Pascal Petiot. Thanks for the reply. Sustainable biomass utilization demands that around 30-40% of trash is left in the fields for mulching etc while the rest can be used for other purposes like fodder for animals, biomass pelletization or energy conversion in biomass energy plants.

Ok, I get your point. I thought your were comparing with burning in the fields before harvesting.

Right now, I see a lot of discussion regarding trash blanketing, where trash would be left in teh fields for weeds and evaporation control, as well as bringing organic matter back to the soil.

In reply to Pascal Petiot.

Dear Pascal
When trash is burned in a boiler, controlled combustion takes place and steam is produced from which heat and electrical energy can be generated. On the other hand, when trash is lying in field it will continuously emit methane gas into the atmosphere, which is several times more harmful than carbon dioxide.
Hope you agree with my views.
Best wishes
Salman

i don’t understand why burning the trash in a boiler would produce less greenhouse gas than burning it in the field. This is the replacement of fossil fuel with trash that saves greenhouse gases emissions.
