Growing bamboo commercially could create biofuel possibilities for commercial power generation and serve to sequestrate a percentage of carbon emitted by the same power generation facilities, says Africa-focused bamboo technology company Afribam.

Afribam director Adrian Sutton tells Engineering News there is a lot of unexplored potential for bamboo as a biomass fuel, and it could be produced and used in power stations as an alternative or supplement to coal.
