Abstract The larvae of black soldier fly (BSFL) are rich in lipids, and in the current study, BSFL was used to produce biodiesel by enzymatic transesterification with methanol. Biodiesel obtained by free lipase-catalyzed transesterification is always with side-reactions. To address the limitation of free lipase, for the first time, Lipase SMG1 and Lipase Eversa Transform 2.0 were combined to use as catalysts at the same time. The effects of different reaction conditions on the yield of biodiesel were investigated, including the type of enzyme, reaction temperature, and molar ratio of BSFL to methanol. The molar ratio of BSFL to methanol 1:3, one-step addition of methanol at 25 °C were selected as optimal conditions. The fatty acid methyl ester content achieved to 98.45% after 8h reaction under the optimal conditions. Moreover, the main properties of the final biodiesel indicators met the EN14214 biodiesel standard.
