In today's energy evolution, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. But there's another player gaining ground: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, these renewable fuels might support the shift to green power, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
While electric systems require big changes, they run on today’s transport setups, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. Engines can use them without much modification.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
Still, it’s not all smooth. 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.
Biofuels are often called a short-term solution. But they may be a long-term tool in some sectors. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They don’t replace electric or solar energy, they act read more as a support system. Through good policy and research, they might reshape global mobility
