Abstract
This study aims to describe the types of alternative fuels used in transport from its beginnings until today, and to find connections and barriers for biofuel use to estimate alternative fuels for the future based on trends. The main study findings reveal the chief disincentives for using alternative and biofuels stem from politics and the oil lobby. The only factors able to offset the repression of the oil market were the oil crisis, wars, and current, stringent environmental regulations. Experiments and references for exploring the use of a wide variety of base materials for biofuels have been many in the past, but the implementation of biofuels at the commercial level took many centuries to develop. The development of other areas like the automotive industry was far more intensive.
