  This study investigates the sustainable production of biodiesel from cashew nut seed oil using a heterogeneous catalyst. Transesterification was carried out using methanol in the presence of KI/Al2O3 catalyst under controlled conditions. The produced biodiesel was separated and characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to identify functional groups. The FT-IR results confirmed the formation of fatty acid methyl esters, indicating successful biodiesel production....
