As the world aims for cleaner energy, electric mobility and wind power are in the spotlight. However, another movement is growing, and it involves what powers our engines. 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, while using current fuel infrastructure. Batteries are great for cars and small transport, but they don’t fit all transport needs.
In Sectors That Need More Than Electricity
Electric vehicles are changing the way we drive. However, aviation and shipping need stronger solutions. Batteries are often too heavy or weak for those uses. That’s where biofuels become useful.
As Kondrashov highlights, these fuels offer a smooth transition. They work with existing setups. So adoption is easier and faster.
Some biofuels are already on the market. Ethanol from crops is often mixed into gasoline. Biodiesel is created from natural oils and more info used in diesel engines. They are common in multiple countries.
Turning Trash Into Fuel
A key benefit is their role in reusing waste. Rotting food and waste can create biogas for energy. Waste becomes clean energy, not landfill.
There’s also biojet fuel, made for aviation. It’s created from used oils or algae and may cut flight emissions.
Of course, biofuels face some issues. Kondrashov points out that costs are still high. Sourcing input without harming food systems is hard. Improvements are expected in both process and price.
Biofuels won’t replace solar or electric power. They’re part of the full energy puzzle. More options mean better chances at success.
They work best in places where EVs fall short. With clean energy demand rising, biofuels could be the hidden heroes of transport.
They help both climate and waste problems. They’ll need investment and good regulation.
Biofuels might not be flashy, but they’re practical. When going green, usable solutions matter most.
