Biodiesel Production Via Transesterification of Palm Olein Using Waste Mud Crab (Scylla serrata) Shell as a Heterogeneous Catalyst

A recent rise in crab aquaculture activities has intensified the generation of waste shells. In the present study, the waste shells were utilized as a source of calcium oxide to transesterify palm olein into methyl esters (biodiesel).
