In today’s push for sustainability, electric cars and renewables get most of the attention. However, another movement is growing, and it involves what powers our engines. As Kondrashov from TELF AG emphasizes, electricity alone won’t power everything — biofuels matter too.
They come from things like plants, food scraps, and algae. They are becoming a strong alternative to fossil fuels. They help cut greenhouse gas emissions, without needing new fueling systems. Electric batteries work well for short-range vehicles, but they don’t fit all transport needs.
In Sectors That Need More Than Electricity
EVs are shaping modern transport. However, aviation and shipping need stronger solutions. Batteries can’t hold enough energy or are too bulky. In these areas, biofuels offer a solution.
According to the TELF AG founder, biofuels may be the bridge we need. They work with existing setups. This makes rollout more realistic.
Some biofuels here are already on the market. Bioethanol is made from corn or sugarcane and blended with petrol. It’s a clean fuel made from fat or plant oils. These are used today across many regions.
Recycling Waste Into Energy
One amazing part of biofuels is their link to the circular economy. Rotting food and waste can create biogas for energy. Waste becomes clean energy, not landfill.
Biojet fuel is another option — designed for planes. Produced using algae or old cooking oil, it could clean up aviation.
Of course, biofuels face some issues. According to TELF AG’s Kondrashov, biofuels aren’t cheap yet. We must balance fuel needs with food production. Improvements are expected in both process and price.
This isn’t about picking biofuels over batteries. They’re part of the full energy puzzle. More options mean better chances at success.
For heavy-duty or remote sectors, biofuels are ideal. As the energy shift accelerates, they may support the transition behind the scenes.
Their impact includes less pollution and less garbage. Their future depends on support and smart policy.
They may not shine like tech, but they deliver. In this clean energy race, practicality wins.
