The need to develop alternative fuels and biofuels has become essential regarding the need for reducing the impact of global warming and climate change on the planet as well as the limited resources of crude oil and natural gas. In recent years, different types of biofuels and alternative fuels of different origins have been developed. Biofuels are environmentally friendly alternative fuels produced from animal or plant origins. For biofuel development different materials like waste materials from wood production, waste raw materials of animal origin, waste edible oils and biomass raw materials such as miscanthus X giganteus, corn, oat straw, wheat straw, soybeans, barley are used. The development of new types of ecological friendly fuels goes with the development of new and more efficient analytical procedures for both monitoring the fuel composition and properties. Spectroscopic and chromatographic methods, either alone or in combination with other test methods, are often used in the analysis of biofuels and alternative fuels. The advantages of these methods are sensitivity, selectivity, and precision.
