As the energy world changes, EVs and renewable grids are the main focus. But there's another player making steady progress: biofuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, biofuels made from plants, waste, and algae might support the shift to green power, 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.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. Engines can use them without much modification.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, made from leftover organic waste. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
However, there are issues. Biofuels are costly to produce. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. We must avoid competing with food crops.
Despite these problems, there’s huge opportunity. They don’t need a full system replacement. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be key for years to get more info come. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
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. With smart rules and more investment, they may drive clean transport changes globally
