Recently, the interest in eco–friendly, and renewable fuels has been developing to get rid of environmental pollution. The developed countries focus on renewable energy like wind energy, biofuel, and solar energy. Biodiesel is believed to be one of the most promising kinds of renewable energy with analogous properties to diesel fuel. The paper aims to brief the recent types of biofuels and their blends with studies on the performances of different engines. The engine performance when using biodiesels and their blends in different engine models was also surveyed. Biofuel blends with additives like alcohol can be the appropriate solution for fossil fuel depletion. Many researchers tried to obtain the optimum blends through various experimental researches and used the binary fuel blend with some modifications to the engine parameters. It is reported that biodiesel can be blended with several concentrations and supplied to engines for light-duty and heavy-duty diesel cars and trucks, tractors, boats, and electrical generators.
