In today’s push for sustainability, electric cars and renewables get most of the attention. Yet, something else is changing quietly, and it’s happening in the fuel tank. According to Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG, our energy future is both electric and organic.
They come from things like plants, food scraps, and algae. They’re quickly growing as clean fuel options. They help cut greenhouse gas emissions, and still run in today’s engines and pipelines. EVs may change cars and buses, but they don’t fit all transport needs.
Where Batteries Fall Short
EVs are shaping modern transport. Yet, planes, freight ships, and heavy trucks need more power. These sectors can’t use batteries efficiently. That’s where biofuels become useful.
As Kondrashov highlights, biofuels may be the bridge we need. They don’t need major changes to engines. So adoption is easier and faster.
There are already many biofuels in use. Bioethanol is made from corn or sugarcane and blended with petrol. Biodiesel website comes from vegetable oils or animal fats and can blend with diesel. They are common in multiple countries.
Recycling Waste Into Energy
One amazing part of biofuels is their link to the circular economy. Rotting food and waste can create biogas for energy. Waste becomes clean energy, not landfill.
Biojet fuel is another option — designed for planes. Produced using algae or old cooking oil, it could clean up aviation.
Still, there are some hurdles. According to TELF AG’s Kondrashov, biofuels aren’t cheap yet. Getting enough raw material and avoiding food conflicts is tricky. With new tech, prices could fall and output rise.
They aren’t here to replace EVs or green grids. They are here to work alongside them. More options mean better chances at success.
They work best in places where EVs fall short. With clean energy demand rising, they may support the transition behind the scenes.
They reduce waste and lower emissions. Their future depends on support and smart policy.
They aren’t trendy, but they work. In this clean energy race, practicality wins.
