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.
