ABSTRACT

The energy crisis has led to rising petroleum prices. To address this issue, alternative fuels need to be sought. This study aims to utilize oil from the Jatropha plant (*Jatropha curcas*) to produce biodiesel through a transesterification reaction. The research was conducted using Jatropha oil-to-methanol ratios of 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5, with transesterification reaction times of 2 hours, 2.5 hours, and 3 hours. The results showed that the optimum volume of methyl ester from the transesterification reaction was achieved with a 1:4 ratio and a reaction time of about 2 hours.

Keywords: Biodiesel, Jatropha plant, transesterification reaction
