The paper presents a comparison of products of combustion of conventional fuels and alternative fuels based on literature sources. Unfavorable balance of fossil fuels increased interest in alternative fuels that could replace the existing motor fuels. The paper presents the classification and selection factors of sorbents during rescue and firefighting actions of the State Fire Service. There is presented the correspondence analysis of the steam absorption capacity of chosen sorbent of the company Sintac®-Polska, i.e., Compakt® in relation to the sorbates, i.e., diesel oil Miles Plus Diesel Arctic, diesel oil Ekodiesel Ultra F and diesel oil B0 according to EN-590 10 ppm. It is assessed how sorbent absorbs chosen steams and it is presented the inter-relationship between the factors.
