Growing the Bioeconomy
Sugarcane is ideal for renewables because it is fast-growing with abundant biomass.
Besides sugar and cellulose, its hemicelluloses (or the so called 5-carbon sugars, Pentoses) are an ideal feedstock to make furfural (one of the oldest bio-based chemical building blocks).
Bioenergy crops lets much more carbon accumulate in the soil.
Any material that is made from furfural and that lasts ‘forever’, is a form of carbon storage
