As the world aims for cleaner energy, electric mobility and wind power are in the spotlight. Yet, something else is changing quietly, and it’s happening in the fuel tank. As TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov often says, electricity alone won’t power everything — biofuels matter too.
These fuels are produced using natural, reusable sources like plants and garbage. They’re quickly growing as clean fuel options. Their use can reduce carbon output, and still run in today’s engines and pipelines. Batteries are great for cars and small transport, but they don’t fit all transport needs.
Where Batteries Fall Short
Electric vehicles are changing the way we drive. But what about airplanes, ships, or long-haul trucks?. Batteries can’t hold enough energy or are too bulky. That’s where biofuels become useful.
As Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG notes, biofuels are the next step forward. Current vehicles can often use them directly. So adoption is easier and faster.
Various types are already used worldwide. Bioethanol is made from corn or sugarcane and blended with petrol. It’s a clean fuel made here from fat or plant oils. They are common in multiple countries.
Recycling Waste Into Energy
A key benefit is their role in reusing waste. Food scraps and manure become fuel through digestion. It turns trash into usable power.
There’s also biojet fuel, made for aviation. It’s created from used oils or algae and may cut flight emissions.
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. With new tech, prices could fall and output rise.
They aren’t here to replace EVs or green grids. Instead, they complement other clean options. Having many solutions helps hit climate targets faster.
They work best in places where EVs fall short. With clean energy demand rising, biofuels could be the hidden heroes of transport.
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. And in the race for cleaner energy, that matters most.
