The synthesis of biodiesel using a CaO-SiO₂ catalyst derived from blood clam shells (CaO) and palm kernel shell fly ash (SiO₂) has been conducted. The results obtained thus far are not yet optimal, as the surface area and catalytic activity remain low. To enhance the surface area of the catalyst, the addition of metal oxides, such as Fe₂O₃, is necessary. ............................
