The subject of this thesis are both available and potentional gaseous and liquid biofuels. The thesis deals with their detailed description and comparison. The first part describes the current legislation and the basic types of biofuels. The main part focuses then on biofuels themselves, their characteristics, production, utilization, and their impact on environment. In further parts, emissions created during the cycle of production and distribution of biofuel are characterized. Last part brings comparison of biofuels from different points of view, and recommendation of the alternative ways of production of gaseous and liquid biofuels from renewable resources of energy.

This diploma thesis focuses on the analysis of scientific literature and the current situation in the field of energy crops and world food prices and trying to express the contemporary situation in this area through discourse. It seeks to analyse the relationship between the production of technical and energy crops in relation to the production of food commodities, world food prices and the anticipated growth of the world's population. Analysis of secondary statistical data of selected productions of food commodities in the last 5 years and their comparison with the prices of selected technical and energy crops are trying to define the direct and indirect links between the development of prices of these commodities.

Main goal of the dissertation is pointing out the different aspects of biofuels market, focus on forms of regulation, their use and analysis of their pros and cons.

The main theme of this thesis is available and potential gaseous and liquid alternative biofuels made from biomass and waste. The thesis deals with their detailed description and comparison. The first part covers the basic distribution of biofuels and alternative fuels made from waste. The main part focuses then on the fuels themselves, their properties, production, use and environmental impact. Furthermore, thesis describes legislative issues and fuels are compared from different perspectives. Practical part includes testing of combustion of liquid fuels taken from waste sources. In the next chapters there is executed overview of basic atomization method of liquid fuels and a plan and running of the testing processed. Evaluation of results is based on point of view of suitability for use, the quality of combustion and emission limits.

The diploma thesis deals with the problematics of biofuels as a renewable source of energy in transportation, which has recently gotten under social spotlight. The theoretical part is focused on an explanation of basic terminology, historical development and especially reasons for the need to replace current fosil fuels with respect to an increasing volume of CO2 and shortening oil reserves. The practical part compares characteristics, use, pros and cons of the biofuels of the first and second generation and tries to estimate benefits of the biofuels of the second generation in both economic and environmental area.
