Abstract

Biofuel refers to fuel produced through and from biological processes of biomaterials which are often obtained from plants and animals. These biomaterials can be processed into different forms of biofuel such as biomass, bioethanol, biogas, and biodiesel. The major challenge of biofuel production is its negative implication on the food chain reducing the food supply which is contrary to the sustainable development goal. With the use of agricultural, commercial, domestic, and/or industrial biowastes, this challenge can be addressed. Cassava processing bioproducts and processing wastes have been one of the major sources of raw material for biofuel production and one of the major tubers crops well planted around the world has been discussed in this chapter. Also, different cassava processing with their by-product will be discussed, economic importance of these by-products has also been covered as well as various biofuels that can be produced from cassava processing bioproducts and processing wastes. This chapter provides a clear understanding of various ways biofuels can be produced from cassava by-products and processing wastes without affecting the food chain.
