Absolutely! I just heard back from AAA and they’re aware of the issue; they’ll be pushing back the deadline until April 18th to accommodate

Same here! I’ve also sent a message and am awaiting a response.

Hopefully it gets resolved before the deadline tonight or they push it back to compensate

But it’s mostly mills/independent energy producers that are using it

It’s still used in sugar mills, absolutely, but for new applications. Diverse varietals are used for different purposes (energy cane, feedstock for bioplastics and bio ethanol, and of course sucrose extraction). Lots of innovation, but mostly around trying to find new uses away from table sugar

Merci!

Hi! So great to connect! I’m looking at some of the tensions between using bagasse and fatak for biomass incineration, especially given other possible options (photovoltaic, wave energy). As you might imagine, it’s not simply about technical concerns, but political (and nostalgic) ones, too

Could I be added to this list as well?
November 21, 2024 at 1:31 PM
I can definitely see that! Batteries and storage in general will be one of the most pressing concerns to be sure

Fascinating! Would love to learn more about your work, especially with regards to electrification. Im interested in the transformation of by-products into co-products as a way to recuperate value from discards. This has all sort of implications for substituting agricultural inputs down the chain

Thank you!

Hi, could you please add me as well? Thank you!
November 13, 2024 at 4:04 PM
Thank you! And yes, please do!

What a great list, thank you for compiling it! Would love to be added to it as well if possible. My work involves biofuels production and (post)colonial knowledge-making practices
