The urgent need for alternative energy sources has driven interest in biodiesel production from renewable feedstocks like waste cooking oil, This study investigate the production of biodiesel from Chicharabao waste cooking oil (CWCO) using Novozym 435, an enzymatic catalyst effective under mild conditions, By varying the methanol-to-oil molar ratios (1:1, 10:1, 20:1, and 25:1), the highest yield of 94,65% was achieved at a 10:1l ratio, indicating highest conversion efficiency. The molecular weight of CWCO was determined to be 926.69 g/mol, highlighting its suitability due to long-chain fatty acids. The resulting biodiesel met the ASTM D675l standards for key properties, such as kinematic viscosity, flash point, water content, and density, confirming its quality for diesel engines. The findings affirm the feasibility of using Novozym 435 as a catalyst to convert waste oil into biodiesel, supporting sustainable waste management and renewable energy efforts.
