As the energy world changes, electric vehicles and solar energy get most of the attention. Yet, another solution making steady progress: alternative fuels.
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.
While electric systems require big changes, biofuels can work with current engines, useful in long-haul and heavy-duty industries.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. They can run in current engines website with few changes.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
Still, it’s not all smooth. Biofuels are costly to produce. We need innovation and raw material sources. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Despite these problems, biofuels offer real potential. They avoid full infrastructure change. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
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 green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. Through good policy and research, they might reshape global mobility
