▁c rop ▁in ▁many ▁countries . ▁It ▁is ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁plants ▁with ▁the ▁highest ▁bio con version ▁efficiency . ▁Sug arc ane ▁c rop ▁is ▁able ▁to ▁efficiently ▁fix ▁solar ▁energy , ▁yield ing ▁some ▁ 5 5 ▁t onnes ▁of ▁dry ▁matter ▁per ▁hect are ▁of ▁land ▁ann ually . ▁After ▁har vest , ▁the ▁c rop ▁produces ▁sugar ▁ju ice ▁and ▁bag asse , ▁the ▁f ibr ous ▁dry ▁matter . ▁This ▁dry ▁matter ▁is ▁bi om ass ▁with ▁potential ▁as ▁fuel ▁for ▁energy ▁production . ▁Bag asse ▁can ▁also ▁be ▁used ▁as ▁an ▁alternative ▁source ▁of ▁pul p ▁for ▁paper ▁production . ▁ ▁Sug arc ane ▁bag asse ▁is ▁a ▁potentially ▁abund ant ▁source ▁of ▁energy ▁for ▁large ▁produ cers ▁of ▁sugar c ane , ▁such ▁as ▁Brazil , ▁India ▁and ▁China . ▁According ▁to ▁one ▁report , ▁with ▁use ▁of ▁latest ▁techn ologies , ▁bag asse ▁produced ▁ann ually ▁in ▁Brazil ▁has ▁the ▁potential ▁of ▁meeting ▁ 2 0 % ▁of ▁Brazil ' s ▁energy ▁consumption ▁by ▁ 2 0 2 0 . ▁ ▁Electric ity ▁production ▁A ▁number ▁of ▁countries , ▁in ▁particular ▁those ▁lack ing ▁foss il ▁fu els , ▁have ▁implemented ▁energy ▁conservation ▁and ▁efficiency ▁measures ▁to ▁minim ize ▁the ▁energy ▁used ▁in ▁can e ▁processing ▁and ▁export ▁any ▁excess ▁electric ity ▁to ▁the ▁grid . ▁Bag asse ▁is ▁usually ▁burn ed ▁to ▁produce ▁steam , ▁which ▁in ▁turn ▁creates ▁electric ity . ▁Current ▁techn ologies , ▁such ▁as ▁those ▁in ▁use ▁in ▁Maur it
