Alternative biofuels for the internal combustion engines is one of the important options to decrease exhaust emissions, improving engine performance and combustion characteristics. The purpose of this book chapter is to review alternative biofuels such as alcohols and biodiesel. In this regard, the advantages and disadvantages of alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, butanol) have been assessed. Furthermore, the properties of biodiesel, its production potential in Turkey and the World, biodiesel production process and production methods such as dilution method, pyrolysis method, microemulsion method, supercritical method, transesterification method, and their standards were evaluated. This book chapter gives information about alternative biofuels for internal combustion engines that substantially affect the engine performance, combustion process, and exhaust emission characteristics.
