Bioethanol production from banana and cassava agro-industrial wastes to obtain a third generation biofuel adaptable to a liquid/hybrid combustion rocket engine.

In recent years, ethanol production from the abundance of low-cost cellulose biomass or agricultural wastes has grown in importance, due to the hope of reducing the cost of ethanol production and benefiting the global environment. The application of the use of banana and cassava residues for ethanol production could be of great advantage to a country's economy; therefore, this study was conducted to determine the possibility of bioethanol production from banana and cassava peels as a cheaper source of bioethanol.

This work describes the process for obtaining bioethanol from the lignocellulosic residues of banana and cassava peels. Obtaining industrial bioethanol comprises processes such as hydrolysis, which uses chemical components. The aim is for these processes to be replaced by the enzymatic activity of different microorganisms adapted to the substrate to minimize the discharge of hazardous waste.

The bioethanol produced is a product with the potential as biofuel for our liquid combustion rocket engine, which does not threaten food safety as it takes advantage of organic waste.
