Caña de azúcar alternativas de producción bioenergéticos etanol. The population growth and the constant demand for food and energy, climate change and issues for the use of fossil fuels, have raised the need to seek alternative sources of energy (ethanol) to cover those gaps. The most viable alternative is the sugar cane cultivation and now is one of the most important economic activities in Mexico, but it is necessary that the Mexican sugar industry resolves the current problems, for which we suggest the development of research areas, not enough to produce sugar cane, it is necessary to find and produce new products with cost-effective use of large volume. Sugar cane is also able to obtain sugar by-products of high economic value such as ethanol, xylitol, bagasse and filter cake, among many others. However, diversification should be through the interaction of multiple disciplines, not a single professional work, or a single institution. In other words, sugar cane provides a great opportunity in the near future, for the economic development of Tamaulipas to be a highly profitable crop and allows a wide range of production, but above all, an opportunity for development in various research areas interdisciplinary that contribute to technological development. El crecimiento de la población y la constante demanda de alimentos y energía, el cambio climático y la problemática por la utilización de combustibles fósiles, han planteado la necesidad de buscar fuentes alternas de energía (etanol) para cubrir esas carencias. La alternativa más viable es la caña de azúcar; ya que actualmente su cultivo es una de las actividades económicas de mayor importancia en México; sin embargo, es necesario que en la industria azucarera mexicana se resuelva la problemática actual, para lo cual se sugiere el desarrollo de diversas áreas de investigación; no basta con producir caña para hacer azúcar, es necesario encontrar y producir nuevos productos con usos rentables y de gran volumen. De la caña de azúcar es posible obtener, además de azúcar, subproductos de gran valor económico como etanol, xilitol, bagazo y cachaza, entre muchos otros. Sin embargo, la diversificación debe ser a través de la interacción de múltiples disciplinas, no es labor de un solo profesional, ni de una sola institución. En otras palabras, la caña de azúcar ofrece una magnífica oportunidad en un futuro inmediato para el desarrollo económico de Tamaulipas, por ser un cultivo altamente rentable y que permite una amplia diversidad productiva, pero sobre todo, una oportunidad de desarrollo en diversas áreas de investigación interdisciplinaria que coadyuven con el desarrollo tecnológico.
