The viability of integrating biodiesel as a renewable energy source in land and maritime transport systems is promising, given its compatibility with extant fossil fuel infrastructures.However, the corrosivity of biodiesel towards metallic components in fuel distribution and storage facilities has emerged as a critical concern.This study conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the corrosion behaviour of metals in contact with biodiesel, elucidating the underlying mechanisms driving this phenomenon from the perspective of biodiesel processing and storage facilities.It further assesses methodologies for corrosion quantification and investigates the comparative corrosiveness of biodiesel relative to traditional diesel.Contributing factors such as biodiesel's affinity for moisture, the presence of oxygen, the potential for microbial proliferation, and the production of corrosive by-products through auto-oxidation are critically analysed.This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research concerning the compatibility of biodiesel with its processing and storage infrastructure, emphasising the role of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) as both a corrosion barrier and a means of mechanical reinforcement.
