While bioethanol production from sugarcane molasses has advantages in greenhouse gas emissions because of its energy acquisition from bagasse, there are some vulnerability issues in the whole system. These issues should be addressed through the interdisciplinary analysis integrating agriculture and industry. Among a lot of technology options, a solution should be able to select technology package on agricultural and industrial processes. In this study, we constructed a process model of combined raw sugar and bioethanol production from sugarcane considering agricultural and industrial technology options. Simulation results using the process model demonstrated that the simultaneous implementation of both technology options increases production of raw sugar and bioethanol, and saves fossil and natural resources.
