Abstract
The most popular alternative motor fuels are bioethanol, biodiesel, hydrogen and boron. There are also interests in methyl and ethyl alcohols, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, p-series, electricity, and solar fuels were concluded as alternative engine fuels. Alternative engine fuels are fuels competitive to petroleum. These fuels are important because they replace petroleum fuels. There are many benefits the environment, economy and consumers in using alternative fuels. There are also dependencies on production and lifting costs but these are not considered in detail here.Keywords
