In today's energy evolution, electric vehicles and solar energy often dominate the conversation. But there's another player quietly rising: 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, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. They work with most existing diesel systems.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
However, there are issues. Biofuels are costly to produce. Better tech and more supply are needed. Land use must not clash with food production.
Though challenges exist, there’s huge opportunity. They avoid full infrastructure change. 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 can reduce emissions today, not just tomorrow.
As green goals become more read more urgent, the value of biofuels increases. They don’t replace electric or solar energy, they complement the clean energy mix. Through good policy and research, they might reshape global mobility
