| Abstract | ||
| This research examines the potential of exploiting organic wastes, specifically fruit and vegetable wastes, as an alternative source for biofuel production, as part of the search for sustainable solutions to energy and environmental challenges. The research focuses on studying the feasibility of producing bioethanol from fruit and vegetable wastes,.The research aims to identify best practices for improving production processes and assessing the environmental and economic impact of using this waste. Initial results indicate that organic waste represents a promising source for biofuel production, offering the potential for tangible environmental and economic benefits. This research presents a practical experiment for extracting bioethanol from inedible fruits(banana, apple and orange) wastes and inedible vegetables (potato, beet and carrots)wastes. The experiment involves three main steps: juice preparation, yeast fermentation, and distillation. The purity of the produced ethanol is then confirmed through chemical tests. | ||
