The ultimate output of the following process is to produce a Ethanol which can be used as a bio-fuel.

Therefore Cassava produce high amount of Ethanol per ton. Compared to Wheat, Corn or Sugar
cane, Cassava Ethanol yields amount up to about 200 liters per ton.
Cassava roots containing 30% starch is capable of producing about 280 liters (222kg) 96% pure
Ethanol.
