The need of energy is increasing in present, due to the world population growth and increasing industrial sector. Many peoples concerned about climate change and energy sustainability. For that reason, in recent years, the renewable energy is getting more intention. One of the prospecting renewable energy is biodiesel. There are many sources for biodiesel production, such as; jatropha curcas oil, sunflower seed oil, waste cooking oil, etc. In this research the waste cooking oil (WCO) is used for producing biodiesel through transesterification process by varying the reaction time. This research aims to find the optimum biodiesel conversion based on the reaction time process. The result show that the maximum yield is 62,8% when the reaction time is 80 min. The density value is around 0.88 g/ml and the viscosity is around 3.6 mm 2 /s, both of those value are meet with the standard of biodiesel.
