Detailed explanation-1: -c Sugarcane ethanol is an alcohol-based fuel produced by the fermentation of sugarcane juice and molasses. Because it is a clean affordable and lowcarbon biofuel sugarcane ethanol has emerged as a leading renewable fuel for the transportation sector.
Detailed explanation-2: -The process of making ethanol from sugarcane starts when cane stalks are crushed to extract a sugar-rich cane juice. When cane stalks passed through extractor/expeller, cane juice is collected and delivered to a fermentation tank where the yeast fermentation reaction occurs to generate ethanol.
Detailed explanation-3: -A multi-institutional team led by the University of Illinois have proven sugarcane can be genetically engineered to produce oil in its leaves and stems for biodiesel production. Surprisingly, the modified sugarcane plants also produced more sugar, which could be used for ethanol production.
