Abstract
In Brazil, sugarcane is an important biomass used to ethanol production. Sugarcane is an important resource for power generation, with a representation of 17.5% in the energy matrix. Despite of different studies about torrefaction of sugarcane bagasse there are few studies about the energy assessment of torrefaction process of sugarcane bagasse. In this work the torrefaction of sugarcane bagasse was studied. The effect of temperature and time on properties of torrefied biomass was studied. The preliminary results show an increase of High Heating Value (HHV) of torrefied sugarcane bagasse.
