GREEN SUGAR – ENERGY OPTIMIZATION SOLUTION FOR SUGAR MILLS
A solution that modernizes outdated sugar mills, optimizing green energy and increasing their role in global energy production
01.
Identification
The Green Sugar solution modernizes outdated energy production sectors of sugar mills, optimizing green energy production and consumption, thus increasing their role in global energy production using renewable fuel and reducing their GHG footprint. The solution consists of supplying an integrated and customized solution package to modernize and optimize the energy production of individual sugar mills. The main goal is to optimize the efficiency of the biomass cogeneration thermal installation. The direct result of the modernization is to convert sugar mills from electricity consumers to electricity suppliers using the renewable fuel (bagasse) produced by the sugar-making process. By selling to the national electricity grid at a fixed price/kWh, the mill gets concrete results with a reasonable return on investment. The estimated annual economic savings are based on the fuel oil that is displaced by increasing the usage of biomass fuel.
