Abstract Analysis of thermal properties of the new types of biofuels is very important, providing basis to estimate the limit values of the combustion process and the specific behavior of the fuel itself. This is especially important when new and often expensive types of fuel undergo the initial evaluation. In this paper, thermal and physical properties of P. moriformis oil and biodiesel, diesel fuel and their 30/70 and 70/30 blends have been analyzed by using thermogravimetric analysis methods – Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetry (TGA/DTG). According to obtained thermograms, it is observed that boiling point temperatures and ignition temperatures of the samples taking place in following order: diesel
