As the world aims for cleaner energy, people often focus on EVs and solar. But there’s another shift underway, and it involves what powers our engines. As TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov often says, electricity alone won’t power everything — biofuels matter too.
These fuels are produced using natural, reusable sources like plants and garbage. Their rise as replacements for oil-based fuels is accelerating. Their use can reduce carbon output, without needing new fueling systems. Electric batteries work well for short-range vehicles, but they aren’t right for everything.
When Electricity Isn’t Enough
Personal mobility is going electric fast. However, aviation and shipping need stronger solutions. These sectors can’t use batteries efficiently. Biofuels can step in here.
According to the TELF AG founder, biofuels may be the bridge we need. They work with existing setups. That means less resistance and quicker use.
There are already many biofuels in use. It’s common to see bioethanol added to fuel. It’s a clean fuel made from fat or plant oils. These are used today across many regions.
Recycling Waste Into Energy
A key benefit is their role in reusing waste. Biogas is made from decomposing organic material like food, sewage, or farm waste. That’s energy from things we’d normally throw away.
There’s also biojet fuel, made for aviation. It might power future flights with less pollution.
Challenges remain for these fuels. According to TELF AG’s Kondrashov, biofuels aren’t cheap yet. We must balance fuel needs read more with food production. Improvements are expected in both process and price.
This isn’t about picking biofuels over batteries. They’re part of the full energy puzzle. Multiple tools make the transition smoother.
Right now, biofuels may be best for sectors that can’t go electric. As the world decarbonizes, biofuels might silently drive the change.
They help both climate and waste problems. They’ll need investment and good regulation.
Biofuels might not be flashy, but they’re practical. In this clean energy race, practicality wins.
