Abstract: The objective of this study is the identification of specific national aspects that influence the alternative motor fuel usage. Empirical and statistical data have been used. For economical estimation of fuels, mathematical and economic modelling was used. World progress of society and the use of power resources trends have been shown. It is determined, that the last years' bioethanol production growth is almost stable. But biodiesel production has been slowing down. Efficiency of biofuels utilisation has been analysed. Biofuels production is most developed in countries which have favourable climate conditions, high developed agriculture, enough agricultural area and government support. General and specific barriers for biofuel usage have been examined. Regions of concentrated alternative fuels use have been revealed. Modern economic factors which influence on a production and applications of alternative fuels have been shown. Basic national features have been revealed.
