The aim of this paper was to present the contribution of the sugar cane industry to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the energy sector. Mauritius is taken as a case study. Sugar cane was introduced in Mauritius during the seventeenth century and production of sugar started around 60 years later. Since then, the cane industry has been one of the economic pillars of the country. Bagasse, a by-product of sugar cane, is used as fuel in cogeneration power plants to produce process heat and electricity. This process heat and the generated electricity are used by an annexed sugar mills for the production of sugar, while the remaining electricity is exported to the national grid. In fact, Mauritius is a pioneer in the field of bagasse-based cogeneration power plant; the first bagasse-based cogeneration power plant that was commissioned in the world was in Mauritius in 1957.

Renewable energy opens up prospects for answer the problem and an eco-friendly solution directed to energy security. Indonesia as a rich country of biodiversity resources, has a high potential for developing new and renewable energy derivates from plants. One of those biodiversity resources that had been investigated is nipah (Nypa fruticans Wurmb). Nipah belongs to family Palmae or Arecaceae. Commonly known as the nipa palm, is a species of palm considered adapted to the mangrove ecosystem. Nipah naturally distributes in Sumatera, Kalimantan, Java, Sulawesi, and New Guinea. Nipah produces high amount of sap that can be converted into bioethanol. Nipah sap was produced by fruit stalks that can be harvested twice a day. One stalk can produce about 0.5 to 2 l sap per day. This nipah sap generates 8.98-14% of ethanol that resulting varied amount of bioethanol from 3,587.92-22,374.54 l per ha per year. Nipah also contains high amount of lignocellulose that can be converted into bioethanol. Nipah has cellulose and hemicellulose content that ranges from 28.9-45.6 wt% and 21.8-26.4 wt%, respectively. This lignocellulose component can be converted into bioethanol and yielded around 1,169.22 kg per ha. Charcoal production is also potentially made from some parts of nipah tree, such as fruit bunch, fruit shell, leaf midrib, and leaves. Nipah has productivity around 2,858.89 kg per ha to produce charcoal. The nipah charcoal has characteristics close to charcoal characteristics produced from other palm trees.
