Efficacious and recyclable eggshell derived CaO, and transition metal doped CaO i.e. Fe-CaO, and Ni-CaO catalysts were used to synthesize biodiesel from chicken fat as a potential source of bioenergy. The synthesized catalysts were examined using a variety of analysis methods, such as FTIR, SEM, and XRD. Single step transesterification process gave 83 biodiesel yield using Fe-CaO. The characteristics of synthesized biodiesel were compared with international standards (ASTM6751 and EU14214). {\^A}{\copyright} 2024 The Authors}, author = {Amal, R. and Nadeem, R. and Intisar, A. and Rouf, H. and Hussain, D. and Kousar, R.}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85183533182&doi=10.1016\%2fj.catcom.2024.106848&partnerID=40&md5=0fef95c72daa8e8e66ef6b16f9538a51} }
