Biofuels: The Future of Green Transport
As the energy world changes, EVs and renewable grids are the main focus. But there's another player quietly rising: biofuels.According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, biofuels made from plants, waste, and algae could be key in cleaner energy adoption, where batteries are not practical yet.
While electric systems require big changes, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, produced using scraps and waste. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
But there are challenges. Production is still expensive. We need innovation and raw material sources. here Land use must not clash with food production.
Though challenges exist, biofuels offer real potential. They avoid full infrastructure change. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Biofuels are often called a short-term solution. Yet, they could be a solid long-term option. They can reduce emissions today, not just tomorrow.
As green goals become more urgent, the value of biofuels increases. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they act as a support system. If we fund them and improve regulation, they might reshape global mobility
