As the energy world changes, electric vehicles and solar energy are the main focus. But there's another player gaining ground: alternative fuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, these renewable fuels may play a major role in the global energy transition, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. They can run in current engines with few changes.
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. Production is still expensive. We need innovation and raw material sources. Land use must not clash with food production.
Though challenges exist, there’s huge opportunity. They don’t need a full system replacement. 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.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, the value of biofuels increases. They are not meant to here compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. With smart rules and more investment, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
