In today's energy evolution, battery cars and wind energy get most of the attention. Yet, another solution making steady progress: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, fuels from organic material may play a major role in the global energy transition, where batteries are not practical yet.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, they run on today’s transport setups, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, made from leftover organic waste. 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. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Even with these limits, biofuels offer real potential. They can be used without starting from zero. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Many believe they are here just a bridge. But they may be a long-term tool in some sectors. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
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. If we fund them and improve regulation, they might reshape global mobility
