In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. But there's another player gaining ground: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, these renewable fuels might support the shift to green power, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
While electric systems require big changes, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It comes from natural oils and fats. They can run in current engines with few changes.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply are needed. We must avoid competing with food crops.
Even with these limits, there’s huge opportunity. They avoid full infrastructure change. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
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, biofuels have a growing role. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. here With smart rules and more investment, they may drive clean transport changes globally
