In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. However, one more option gaining ground: green fuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, these renewable fuels may play a major role in the global energy transition, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
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. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. They can run in current engines with few changes.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, made from leftover organic waste. 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.
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 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 here mix. If we fund them and improve regulation, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
