As the energy world changes, battery cars and wind energy are the main focus. Yet, another solution gaining ground: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, biofuels made from plants, waste, and algae could be key in cleaner energy adoption, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, biofuels can work with current engines, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. They work with most existing diesel systems.
Fuels like biogas and website sustainable jet fuel also exist, made from leftover organic waste. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
But there are challenges. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Though challenges exist, there’s huge opportunity. They avoid full infrastructure change. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Many believe they are just a bridge. However, they might be key for years to come. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, they act as a support system. If we fund them and improve regulation, they might reshape global mobility
