In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. However, one more option quietly rising: biofuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, fuels from organic material could be key in cleaner energy adoption, where batteries are not practical yet.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, these fuels fit into existing systems, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. They can run in current engines read more with few changes.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
However, there are issues. Production is still expensive. We need innovation and raw material sources. Land use must not clash with food production.
Though challenges exist, there’s huge opportunity. They don’t need a full system replacement. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Biofuels are often called a short-term solution. Yet, they could be a solid long-term option. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. With smart rules and more investment, they may drive clean transport changes globally
