In today's energy evolution, electric vehicles and solar energy get most of the attention. However, one more option gaining ground: green fuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, biofuels made from plants, waste, and algae could be key in cleaner energy adoption, 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.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. Engines can use them without much modification.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. We need innovation and raw material sources. We must avoid competing with food crops.
Despite these problems, they are still website valuable. 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 key for years to come. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
As green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They don’t replace electric or solar energy, they act as a support system. Through good policy and research, they may drive clean transport changes globally
