In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids are the main focus. 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, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
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. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. They work with most existing diesel systems.
Fuels like biogas and sustainable jet fuel also exist, made from leftover organic waste. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
But there are challenges. Production is still expensive. We need innovation and raw material sources. Land use must not clash with food production.
Even with these limits, they are still valuable. They avoid more info full infrastructure change. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. Yet, they could be a solid long-term option. They can reduce emissions today, not just tomorrow.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, 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
