The banana fruit and its organic residues are feedstocks that can be used to produce ethanol through hydrolysis, fermentation and distillation. Through these processes, agricultural waste can be used to produce ethanol and reduce environmental concerns. From the four productions routes analyzed, two for amylaceous material submitted to acid hydrolysis (banana pulp and banana fruit) and two using lignocellulosic material submitted to enzymatic hydrolysis (flower stalk and banana skin), the best performance was for the amylaceous materials that showed a “Mass performance” from 346.5 to 388.7 L/t, a “NEV” between 9.86 and 9.94 MJ/L and an “Energy Ratio” of 1.9 MJ/MJ, which are values comparable when other amylaceous materials such as corn are used. Lignocellulosic materials showed lower performance indexes: a “Mass performance” from 86.1 to 123.5 L/t, a “NEV” between 5.24 and 8.79 MJ/L and an “Energy Ratio” between 1.3 and 1.6 MJ/MJ, which are, however, comparable with indexes for lignocellulosic material.
