Papaya or paw paw fruit, scientific name carica papaya, is commonly farmed in Nigeria for medical uses as well as for fresh fruit. After extracting the papain needed for medicine from the fruit, the paw paw waste can be fermented using brewers yeast. This fermentation process results in an ethanol product that can be used as a sustainable fuel source.
