## Abstract The production of biodiesel was investigated using a lipase‐catalysed (Novozym 435) reaction involving methyl acetate and ionic liquid [BMIM][PF~6~] as a co‐solvent to produce an environmentally friendly, “green” process. Experiments were conducted at various amounts of ionic liquid. Th
