ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an overview of the main technological issues related to the current and potential use of biofuels in motor vehicles. Although the primary focus here is on ethanol and biodiesel, use of straight vegetable oils (SVOs), dimethyl ether (DME), biomass-to-liquid (BTL) fuels and ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE) is also discussed. Biogas, methanol and hydrogen are addressed very briefly as well.
