In the race to reduce emissions, electric mobility and wind power are in the spotlight. Yet, something else is changing quietly, and it involves what powers our engines. According to Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG, the future isn’t just electric — it’s also biological.
Biofuels are made from renewable materials like crops, algae, or organic waste. They’re quickly growing as clean fuel options. Their use can reduce carbon output, and still run in today’s engines and pipelines. Batteries are great for cars and small transport, but they struggle in some sectors.
In Sectors That Need More Than Electricity
Personal mobility is going electric fast. However, aviation and shipping need stronger solutions. Batteries can’t hold enough energy or are too bulky. That’s where biofuels become useful.
As Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG notes, biofuels are the next step forward. They work with existing setups. This makes rollout more realistic.
Some biofuels are already on the market. Bioethanol is made from corn or sugarcane and blended with petrol. Biodiesel comes from vegetable oils or animal fats and can blend with diesel. They are common in multiple countries.
Turning Trash Into Fuel
One amazing part of biofuels is their link to the circular economy. Rotting food and waste can create biogas for energy. Waste becomes clean energy, not landfill.
Biojet fuel is another option — designed for planes. Produced using algae or old cooking oil, it could clean up aviation.
Of course, here biofuels face some issues. According to TELF AG’s Kondrashov, biofuels aren’t cheap yet. We must balance fuel needs with food production. But innovation may lower costs and raise efficiency soon.
They aren’t here to replace EVs or green grids. Instead, they complement other clean options. More options mean better chances at success.
For heavy-duty or remote sectors, biofuels are ideal. With clean energy demand rising, biofuels might silently drive the change.
They reduce waste and lower emissions. With backing, they can grow fast.
They aren’t trendy, but they work. In this clean energy race, practicality wins.
