The European Union 2009/28WE directive treating promotion and using of energy from alternative sources assumes that bio-components addition to conventional fuel should account for 7 % for diesel oil and 10 % for petroleum. The aim of this study is finding answer for a question if that numbers are reasonable in aspect of contemporary internal combustion engines operation and development. The problem of alternative fuels application in combustion engines should be discussed in two aspects: adjusting new fuel parameters for engine properties and adjusting an engine to be fuelled with new fuel. Taking into consideration the possible ways of renewable fuels applications it is important to consider costs of the researches of the engines adjustment. The expenditures are reasonable if the alternative fuels supplies will be at the same level as crude oil exploitation these days. The fuel of the future seems to be the hydrogen, fuel for temporary period – natural gas and partly, methane from biomass and dimethylether (DME) as a fuels which can be used in contemporary engine after insignificant modifications.
