In the current scenario, steady increase in accumulation of wastes in large quantities has a major impact on the ecosystem. Hence, to sustain the health of ecosystem, there is substantial increase in demand for the waste recycling procedures by safe utilization technologies. Agricultural waste released during plant growth, crop production, etc. contributes majorly for the increase in wastes. On the other hand, due to the rapid growth in population and increased industrialization, topmost priority for manufacturing sector turns out to be effective utilization of resources and reduction of energy cost. Biorefineries based out of agro-waste fulfill the demands of industry mentioned above. Latest development in technologies for converting waste to biomass enables utilization of biomass in various fields. Due to the use of lesser mineral fertilizers and huge scope for recycling of nutrients, sugarcane production is considered to be the best option in the field. The sugarcane production tops the field, because it requires less mineral fertilizers and the entire chain involves more nutrients would be recycled. About 70%-80% of agricultural residues are left in the field to reduce the soil erosion as well as it recycle the nutrients back to the soil. This created in-depth attention toward the need of agro-waste utilization in the domestic and industrial sectors for energy generation purposes, and hence, the opportunities for biomass energy are going. This chapter focused on feedstock sugarcane trash as waste material and their diversified outlets for the production of products. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
