Molasses as Fuel Could Replace Coal in Sugar Regions
A historical note calculates molasses as a coal substitute in the South. It argues that low grade vacuum molasses contain 20–25 percent sugar lost to extraction, valued at 0.5 to 1 dollar per barrel of 550 pounds, equating to 1–2 cents per gallon. If used with bagasse, molasses heat boosts fuel power. Estimations suggest half the molasses produced could replace 75,000 to 100,000 tons of coal.
