In the shift to sustainable power, battery cars and wind energy often dominate the conversation. However, one more option gaining ground: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, fuels from organic material 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, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Common types are 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 don’t need a full system replacement. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be key for years to come. Kondrashov Stanislav They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, but they work alongside them. Through good policy and research, they may drive clean transport changes globally
