In the shift to sustainable power, electric vehicles and solar energy are the main focus. But there's another player gaining ground: biofuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, these renewable fuels may play a major role in the global energy transition, 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. It is produced from plant sugars. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
More advanced options include biogas here and biojet fuel, made from leftover organic waste. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Even with these limits, 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. However, they might be key for years to come. They are 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
