This study set out to find the best way to optimize transesterification so that waste cooking oil may be converted into biodiesel with as little resources used as possible. This study utilised the quantitative experimental approach to cover 100 distinct batches of alcohol-to-oil ratios (3:1, 6:1, 9:1, and 12:1) with catalyst concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 2.5%. The location of this study was Jhansi, India. The data also showed that a catalyst concentration of 1.5% and an alcohol to oil ratio of 9:1 yielded a good biodiesel output. This provided strong evidence that these factors were the most important in deciding the effectiveness of the transesterification process. An alternative source of sustainable feedstock for biodiesel could be used cooking oil. The ecologically friendly biodiesel production can be based on this, which can be derived practically from home garbage collections with potentially harmful repercussions. These findings demonstrate the wider monetary and ecological advantages of recycling oil for renewable energy applications, which in turn promotes waste management and sustainable energy practices, and they aid in the creation of more effective techniques for biodiesel synthesis
