sugar cane about twice as much
it takes 1000 tons of water to raise one ton of corn
sugarcane is a plant twice the hight of corn and it is a lot thicker, it take double the water to raise it if not more.
It is mostly grown in the humid tropics ,I got a lot in the garden on the edges it also produces more stems compared to corns only one
a conservative estimate there for would be 2000 tons of water for one ton of sugar cane

Adding to whaty Adam said,,, And they only irrigate corn on infrequent occasions.
I believe the answer to your second question is that cane requires a tropical or subtropical climate.

Sugarcane crops need much more water than any corn. It needs irrigation every fourth/ fifth day for almost a year.

In different words you desire to mixture hydrogen or organic gas, ethanol, and air. i assume it would artwork in case you have the thank you to inject the hydrogen. The final I heard, 3 agencies in canada are combating over the rights to a device that does this with regular gas and a gas engine. you could ferment any cloth that has starch or has been switched over to starch or surgar.

well down here in the south, it rains plenty so no extra water is used on sugar cane in general.
