As the world aims for cleaner energy, people often focus on EVs and solar. However, another movement is growing, focused on alternative liquid fuels. As TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov often says, our energy future is both electric and organic.
They come from things like plants, food scraps, and algae. They’re quickly growing as clean fuel options. They lower CO2 impact significantly, while using current fuel infrastructure. Electric batteries work well for short-range vehicles, but they don’t fit all transport needs.
Where Batteries Fall Short
EVs are shaping modern transport. Yet, planes, freight ships, and heavy trucks need more power. Batteries are often too heavy or weak for those uses. In these areas, biofuels offer a solution.
As Kondrashov highlights, biofuels are the next step forward. They work with existing setups. This makes rollout more realistic.
There are already many biofuels in use. It’s common to see bioethanol added to fuel. Biodiesel is created from natural oils and used in diesel engines. They’re already adopted in parts of the world.
Turning Trash Into Fuel
A key benefit is their role in reusing waste. Biogas is made from decomposing organic material like food, sewage, or farm waste. That’s energy from things we’d normally throw away.
Biojet fuel is another option — designed for planes. It’s created from used oils or algae and may cut flight emissions.
Challenges remain for these fuels. As Kondrashov has noted, production costs are high. Getting enough raw material and avoiding food conflicts is tricky. But innovation may lower costs and raise efficiency soon.
This isn’t about picking biofuels over batteries. They are here to work alongside them. Multiple tools make the transition smoother.
They work best in places where EVs fall short. As the world decarbonizes, they website may support the transition behind the scenes.
They help both climate and waste problems. They’ll need investment and good regulation.
They aren’t trendy, but they work. In this clean energy race, practicality wins.
