| Abstract | The need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation industry has increased the search for alternative sustainable fuels. This study suggests a new method of using microwave irradiation to produce fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) based on esterification from waste cooking oil (WCO). FAME can be further converted into Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) through hydrodeoxygenation and isomerization processes. In this study, we aimed to achieve a 95% synthesis ratio within 10 minutes by using microwave-assisted FAME synthesis from waste cooking oil. The research included pre-treatment and neutralization, followed by FAME synthesis under various conditions. FAME yield ratio was measured by GC method. Experimenta1 results showed that microwave irradiation could significantly reduce reaction time and energy use compared to traditional heating methods. The results confirmed that a 95% yield ratio was achieved within 10 minutes. This study highlights microwave-assisted FAME synthesis as a viable way to produce eco-friendly aviation fuels, helping to meet the aviation sector's sustainability goals. |
