As the energy world changes, EVs and renewable grids get most of the attention. Yet, another solution making steady progress: biofuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, these renewable fuels 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 comes from fermenting crop sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
Fuels like biogas and sustainable jet fuel also exist, made from leftover organic waste. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
Still, it’s not all smooth. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Even with these limits, they are still valuable. They avoid full infrastructure change. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Many believe they are just a bridge. But they may be a long-term tool in some sectors. They work now to lower more info carbon impact.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, biofuels have a growing role. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, but they work alongside them. Through good policy and research, they might reshape global mobility
