Bagasse

Bagasse is the dry, pulpy fibrous material left over after crushing sugarcane or sorghum stalks to extract their juice; a similar byproduct made from blue agave is called agave bagasse. It is used industrially as a biofuel for generating heat and electricity and in manufacturing pulp and building materials. The word comes from French and Spanish terms for refuse or trash, originally describing residue from pressing olives, palm nuts and grapes before it came to refer mainly to sugarcane waste; bagasse itself is composed largely of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, with smaller amounts of ash and wax.
