In the present study, renewable green fuel is produced using abundant biowaste from palm oil mill. The crude plam oil from decanter cake was transesterify using empty fruit bunch ash (EFBA) and waste marine sponge with sodium (Na2SiO3-WMS) under very mild conditions. The EFBA as a solid catalyst was...
