Greens Vs. Solar Sep 24, 2009
The technology to be used is called "solar thermal." Rather than convert sunlight directly into electricity (photovoltaics), solar thermal plants use mirrors to heat water with sunlight and create steam to power electric generators. Of all the solar technologies in use or on the drawing board, solar thermal is the cheapest per watt. (Investors Business Daily)

By burning sugar cane bagasse to power their refining machinery, they became self sufficient energy-wise but also created a byproduct that can lower the production cost of the ethanol (in this case they used bagasse to power their electric generators) The sugar cane processors were able to sell the excess electricity back to the national grid. Experts estimated that for every 600 megawatts created from burning bagasse, they sold back another 100 megawatts to the national grid. (Energy Pulse, CO)
