Sugarcane leftovers like bagasse, straw, and tops can be used to make more ethanol without needing more land. By treating the biomass with acid and enzymes, researchers found that straw was best for making ethanol, while tops broke down easily. Bagasse didn't work as well, but using it with the other parts could boost ethanol production.
