Biofuels: The Future of Green Transport
Blog Article
In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids are the main focus. But there's another player gaining ground: alternative fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, these renewable fuels 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. It comes from fermenting crop 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, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply are needed. We must avoid competing with food crops.
Despite these problems, there’s huge opportunity. They here 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 key for years to come. They can reduce emissions today, not just tomorrow.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, these fuels gain importance. They don’t replace electric or solar energy, they act as a support system. Through good policy and research, they might reshape global mobility
