You might be more familiar with tapioca as the common name though, and thanks to the efforts of Nigerian engineer Dr. Joseph Adelegan, that devised method collects cassava waste which in turn is transformed into

a biogas that generates electricity as they turn small turbines. The electricity produced will be adequate for basic needs such as lighting and low-powered electronics, although heavy duty usage like your Xbox 360 and refrigerator will still require the services of a grid.
