Bagasse is a by-product of sugar canes from the Production of sugar juice. Historically, bagasse has been left in the field to rot or to be burned, which has caused CO2 emissions. However, bagasse is a valued biomass, and some studies suggest that it can cover most electricity consumption in the rural areas of the world. Instead of burning bagasse, or letting it rot it makes sense to put a residue to good use in energy production and thus saving other sources of energy such as wood.
