In the shift to sustainable power, battery cars and wind energy get most of the attention. Yet, another solution making steady progress: biofuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, these renewable fuels may play a major role in the global energy transition, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
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. Engines can use them without much modification.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Though challenges exist, biofuels offer real potential. They can be used without starting from zero. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Many believe they are just a bridge. Yet, they could be a solid long-term option. They are website effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, the value of biofuels increases. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they act as a support system. If we fund them and improve regulation, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
