Abstract
Like other emerging countries in South America, Colombia is currently looking for alternatives to replace the use of fuels derived from petroleum in an attempt to reduce dependence on foreign energy markets, besides contributing to diminish the effects of global warming and climate change. Ethanol, biodiesel, and bioelectricity are examples of bioenergy sources which can substitute fossil fuels. Sugarcane is one of the most competitive feedstocks because of its bioenergy potential and various other factors. Sugarcane agro-industry in Colombia is mainly located in the valley of the Cauca River; the country is currently specializing in the production of sugar, molasses, and ethanol. This chapter discusses the current status of biofuel production in Colombia and provides a perspective of expanding this sector with the development of biorefineries that can produce biofuels, bioenergy, and other bioproducts. It also explores the full aptitude of sugarcane (including using straw and bagasse), improving the profitability and sustainability of this industrial sector, as well as replacing conventional energy sources.
