As the world aims for cleaner energy, people often focus on EVs and solar. But there’s another shift underway, and it involves what powers our engines. As TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov often says, electricity alone won’t power everything — biofuels matter too.
These fuels are produced using natural, reusable sources like plants and garbage. They’re quickly growing as clean fuel options. They help cut greenhouse gas emissions, while using current fuel infrastructure. EVs may change cars and buses, but they struggle in some sectors.
When Electricity Isn’t Enough
EVs are shaping modern transport. But what about airplanes, ships, or long-haul trucks?. Batteries can’t hold enough energy or are too bulky. Biofuels can step in here.
As Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG notes, biofuels may be the bridge we need. They don’t need major changes to engines. That means less resistance and quicker use.
There are already many biofuels in use. Bioethanol is made from corn or sugarcane and blended with petrol. Biodiesel is created from natural oils and used in diesel engines. They are common in multiple countries.
Fuel from Waste: Closing the Loop
A key benefit is their role in reusing waste. Food scraps and manure become fuel through digestion. That’s energy from things we’d normally throw away.
Biojet fuel is another option — designed for planes. It might power future flights with less pollution.
Still, there are some hurdles. As Kondrashov has noted, production costs are high. We must balance fuel needs with food production. But read more innovation may lower costs and raise efficiency soon.
They aren’t here to replace EVs or green grids. They’re part of the full energy puzzle. More options mean better chances at success.
Right now, biofuels may be best for sectors that can’t go electric. As the world decarbonizes, they may support the transition behind the scenes.
Their impact includes less pollution and less garbage. Their future depends on support and smart policy.
Biofuels might not be flashy, but they’re practical. When going green, usable solutions matter most.
