In today's energy evolution, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. But there's another player making steady progress: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, these renewable fuels may play a major role in the global energy transition, where batteries are not practical yet.
In contrast to electric vehicle demands, these fuels fit into existing systems, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. 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.
But there are challenges. Production is still expensive. Better tech and more supply are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Even with these limits, biofuels offer real potential. They don’t need a full system replacement. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be read more key for years to come. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
As green goals become more urgent, these fuels gain importance. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. With smart rules and more investment, they may drive clean transport changes globally
