    Petroleum is fossil fuels that unrenewable but the avaibility decreases. Biofuel is an alternative energy resource processed from vegetable oil which can subtitute petroleum. Biofuel can be produced through a catalytic cracking process of Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD). This research is aimed to reveal the process of producing biofuel of PFAD through a catalytic cracking process using a catalyst Fe/ Natural Zeolite and reveal the effects and the best condition of temperature variety and concentration of Fe on the yield of biofuel. The results show that the higher the temperature and the concentration of Fe works, the more likely biofuel yield increases. The best condition is obtained at temperature of 420oC and 1,5% Fe concentration that produces the highest yield product and total fraction of biofuels sequentially for 71,11% and 70,18%.
