Abstract: 
This study uses qualitative approaches to investigate biofuel generation from agricultural leftovers. Qualitative research approaches like interviews and case studies are combined with Solidworks CAD modelling to understand the technical and practical components of the process. Professionals' qualitative insights augment the study, while the CAD model illustrates the complicated manufacturing process. The study's theoretical and practical approaches help identify spatial linkages, operational sequences, and design optimizations. Integrated biorefinery ideas, feedstock characterization, techno-economic evaluations, enhanced conversion technologies, and supporting policies are important. This study aids biofuel production and decision-making.
