Abstract: With the increasing demand of oil, each country is seeking other alternatives in fuelling their machineries, and supplying their energy while adhering to the world-wide call for environmental protection. The use of bio-fuels have been a trend among the fuel deficient countries due to its cheap available resources as well as it receives supports from the environmentalist group, thus bio-ethanol is one of the recent available sources of energy. This study will undertake the financial investment in the production of bio-ethanol from cassava as the raw material to: 1) be able to identify the costs involved in the supply chain of bio-ethanol related to the investment in bio-ethanol plant; 2) provide a financial analysis model using the supply chain costs of a bio-ethanol plant; 3) be able to determine the feasibility of the project of setting up a bio-ethanol plant using the financial instruments.
