As the energy world changes, EVs and renewable grids are the main focus. Yet, another solution 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.
In contrast to electric vehicle demands, they run on today’s transport setups, useful in long-haul and heavy-duty industries.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
But there are challenges. Biofuels are costly to produce. Better tech and more supply are needed. Land use must not clash with food production.
Though challenges exist, there’s huge opportunity. They avoid full infrastructure change. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Biofuels are often called a short-term solution. But they may be a long-term tool in some sectors. They work now to lower carbon impact.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, these fuels gain importance. They won’t take the place of solar or electric website power, they act as a support system. If we fund them and improve regulation, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
