Answer 3

I am from QLD the home of Australian sugar cane industry. Sugar cane is used for the following:
Rum, alcohol
Sugar
Sweetener

At the moment they are trying to make the sugar cane into a environment friendly fuel. I hope it works.

Answer 4

Of course everyone knows that it is used to make sugar and sugary food products, but it has another very interesting use.

In Brazil they are growing hundreds of acres of sugar cane and processing it to make ethanol....fuel for cars.

They only rely on oil for a small percentage of their fuel down there! The price of the ethanol is also about half that of gasoline there as well.

I wish we would grow some sugar cane here and make some fuel!
