Abstract

With the continuous growth of global energy demand and increasingly prominent environmental issues, the research and utilization of renewable energy as a substitute for traditional fossil fuels have gained significant importance. Biofuels, recognized as a key renewable energy source, are widely considered a viable alternative to fossil fuels. The primary component of biodiesel is fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), which are prone to oxidative degradation due to their unsaturated nature during storage and transportation. Various studies have identified several factors influencing the stability of biodiesel, including oxygen, temperature, light, water content, microbial growth, and the corrosion of metal storage tanks. This article provides a comprehensive summary of the effects of different environmental factors on the storage stability of biodiesel and explores the interrelationships between these factors. To enhance the storage stability of biodiesel, several strategies have been proposed, such as optimizing production processes, adding antioxidants, controlling storage environments, and conducting regular inspections. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the long-term storage of biodiesel and promote its widespread application in practical scenarios.
