In the presence of CaO nanocatalyst with transeterification of sunflower seed, corn and cotton oil with methyl and ethyl alcohols, biodiesel has been synthesized. By adding 3, 5, 7 % mass biodiesel into traditional diesel fuel in different variants, the fuel compositions with high exploitation properties have been obtained and their cetane number studied. It was revealed that cetane number of composition was increased for 3-5 units.
