Abstract

This study aims to assess the potential ethanol produced by employing tapioca solid waste to support energy demand in Indonesia. A bioethanol process was simulated under bioactivity process using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Reduced sugar and polysaccharide were used as essential substrate. The simulation result indicate that SSF requires (59 to 62) h and overall process takes approximately seven days. Having averagely 564 414.7 t • yr–1 of tapioca solid waste, it is possible to produce 57.793.103 kL • yr–1. This number could contribute to the 1.89% and 33.41% of bioethanol demand according to Ministry of Research and Technology and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource, respectively.
