In the olden days ships used masts , today they use engines.
Most ships now use diesel engines. Some naval ships have nuclear reactors
The interstellar ships that travel from Earth to Pandora use hybrid fusion and matter-antimatter engines. The Valkyrie shuttles use dual mode fusion engines. The C-21 Dragon gunship, the At-99 Scorpion gunship and the SA-2 Samson Tiltrotor all use turbine engines and rotors.
They use diesel engines.

Well there's how old ships used sails and new ships use engines. New ships are made mostly of metal now when old ships were made of wood. New ships are made of electronics old shipswere all by hand or paper or stars.
The ships have their own electrical generation capabilities, usually combined with their diesel-electric engines.
Yes, biofuel, like biodiesel, will run in diesel engines. Many ships have diesel engines run on fossil fuel diesel and they will easily run on biofuel.
Yes. Gasoline engines powered cars, trucks, tanks when they were invented, and airplanes. The diesel engine was not yet in common use, as it needed the invention of the turbocharger to be effective. Large naval ships used coal to generate steam for their engines.
Different ships use different fuels according to their needs. Most large cargo ships use bunker fuel which is a form of crude oil. Some ships use diesel fuel. Some modern commercial ships are employing nuclear fuels. Some military ships use diesel for their normal operating engines and for more speed they will use jet fuel for gas turbine engines.
