“…The increased global demand for energy supply and consumption has resulted in an increase in petroleum exploration and refining, but this non-renewable energy source is harmful to the environment due to the large amounts of greenhouse gases and particulate matter it emits into the environment, causing environmental and health issues such as global warming, oil spillage, and sooth formation. Because of the negative environmental consequences of petroleum-based fuels, the deliberate pursuit of renewable and alternative energy sources, as well as environmental conservation, has become a global priority [1,2].…”

The goal of this study was to look into the catalytic activity of KOH‐modified CaO from eggshell as catalyst for the optimization of biodiesel production from used cooking oil (UCO), applying the Taguchi approach. The strong base catalyst (K/CE) was formulated by doping KOH on calcined chicken eggshell at various quantities (0–2.5 g), where 2 g of KOH doped on 5 g of calcined eggshell (2K/CE) and recalcined at 400 °C was found to represent the best catalyst formulation conditions. The optimal catalyst resulted in the maximum UCO biodiesel (UCOB) yield of 91.92 % at 70 °C for 1 h, using a 2K/CE dosage of 0.5 wt % and a methanol/UCO molar ratio of 15:1. The physicochemical properties of the optimal UCOB sample were in accordance with ASTM D6751 specifications, and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry analysis confirmed the presence of methyl esters at an amount of 97.65 wt %.

“…Biodiesel is regarded as a potentially renewable fuel capable of replacing petroleum-based diesel [2,3]. Apart from being environmentally friendly, biodiesel has several advantages over fossil fuels, including non-toxicity, biodegradability, high combustion efficiency, and a low carbon footprint [4,5].…”
