As the energy world changes, electric vehicles and solar energy are the main focus. However, one more option quietly rising: biofuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, fuels from organic material may play a major role in the global energy transition, where batteries are not practical yet.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
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 with few changes.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, made from leftover organic waste. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply check here are needed. 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.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. Yet, they could be a solid long-term option. They can reduce emissions today, not just tomorrow.
As green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, they complement the clean energy mix. With smart rules and more investment, they may drive clean transport changes globally
