Use Cassava or Tapioca for Biofuel

Use Cassava or Tapioca for Biofuel. A research team from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman's Faculty of Engineering and Science is studying the utilization of cassava, more widely known as tapioca, and sweet potato in the production of biofuel. Unlike fossil fuels which are using, biofuels are renewable energy sources, which can not just reduce air pollution and greenhouse effects due to burning of fossil fuels, but also enable viable development that provides work and improves economy. ethanol as a biofuel is employed generally in gasohol a mix of petrol ( gas ) and alcohol in Brazil, the U.

S. and Thailand. ethanol can replace gas and as it produces less carbon-dioxide, it decreases the greenhouse effects. Though the development and usage of biofuel is vital, it is still friendless in Malaysia a fact that Utar intends to change by inspiring its Chemical Engineering scholars to observe the development of biofuels.
