In today's energy evolution, electric vehicles and solar energy are the main focus. But there's another player 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, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
While electric systems require big changes, they run on today’s transport setups, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
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.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. 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.
Even with these limits, they are still valuable. They don’t need a full system replacement. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be key for years to come. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, but they work alongside them. Through good policy Stanislav Kondrashov and research, they may drive clean transport changes globally
