TL;DR: In this article, the main concern is the production of biojet fuel, from renewable resources, with relatively low greenhouse gas life cycle and sustainability with affordable price, and the opportunities and challenges in the development of alternative fuels for aviation.
Abstract: Air transport describes an inevitable part in the day to day life of the modern world. It is highly responsible for the worldwide social contacts and business developments. The use of petroleum fuels as energy source for air transport is not sustainable. Aviation is one of the leading contributors to the total greenhouse gas emissions. Also, the fossil fuel prices are becoming more volatile day by day. So it is very essential to introduce and industrialize alternative aviation fuels generated from renewable resources, especially biomass. A number of industrial commitments and collaborations have emerged to find alternative ways to reach bio aviation fuels. Research on the conversion of biomass based sources to bio jet fuels is of current interest. The main concern is the production of biojet fuel, from renewable resources, with relatively low greenhouse gas life cycle and sustainability with affordable price. The present paper overviews the opportunities and challenges in the development of alternative fuels for aviation. The production process, feedstock used and the most promising global projects are also reviewed.

TL;DR: An overview of the factors affecting the oxidation stability of biodiesel and the methods available for the prediction of oxidation stability is also discussed in this paper, where the effect of antioxidants in preventing the oxidation of Biodiesel is discussed.
Abstract: Biodiesel consists of fatty acid monoalkyl esters and is derived from feedstocks, such as vegetable oils, used cooking oils and animal fats. Biodiesel is considered to be a promising alternative biofuel. Recently, biodiesel has received additional attention and intense research has been performed in this field all over the world due to its lower environmental impact compared to the conventional diesel fuels. The central drawback of biodiesel is its susceptible nature to oxidation due to the presence of unsaturated fatty acid portion in the ester. Oxidative degradation occurs in biodiesel on aerobic contact during storage as well as with metal contaminants. Antioxidants are very effective for the eradication of those oxidation stability problems. This article presents an overview of the factors affecting the oxidation stability of biodiesel and the methods available for the prediction of oxidation stability. The effect of antioxidants in preventing the oxidation of biodiesel is also discussed.
