Fuel Oil Extracted from Bagasse and Cane Leaves

     Macuro, T.O., Sanchez, M.L.C., et.al. 2000.   Bagasse and cane leaves contain fuel oil due to the conversion of light energy from the sun through photosynthesis into chemical energy stored in plants. Lignin extracted from grass, bagasse and cane leaves represents a potentially enormous but underutilized, renewable source of aliphatic and aromatic compounds and solids, liquid and gaseous fuels obtained by thermochemical compounds and biochemical conversion.
