In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. However, one more option quietly rising: alternative 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, biofuels can work with current engines, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. Engines can use them without much modification.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
However, there are issues. Production is still expensive. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. We must avoid competing with food crops.
Though challenges exist, there’s huge opportunity. They can be used without starting from zero. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Many believe they are just a bridge. But they may be website a long-term tool in some sectors. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, but they work alongside them. With smart rules and more investment, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
