Electricity generation is considered the most suitable way for commercial exploitation of
biomass, by virtue of the high value of electricity. Biomass based electricity schemes
already provide over 9 GWe of worldwide generation capacity. Cogeneration technology,
based on multiple and sequential use of a fuel for generation of steam and power, is a
viable option for power generation in process industries such as sugar, paper and rice mills,
among others. Sugarcane bagasse and sugarcane trash can provide a significant amount of
biomass for electricity production, and the potential becomes much higher with advanced
cogeneration technologies [2,4,5].
