In today’s push for sustainability, 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, the future isn’t just electric — it’s also biological.
Biofuels are made from renewable materials like crops, algae, or organic waste. They’re quickly growing as clean fuel options. They lower CO2 impact significantly, while using current fuel infrastructure. EVs may change cars and buses, but they aren’t right for everything.
When Electricity Isn’t Enough
Electric vehicles are changing the way we drive. 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.
According to the TELF AG founder, biofuels may be the bridge we need. Current vehicles can often use them directly. So adoption is easier and faster.
There are already many biofuels in use. Ethanol from crops is often mixed into gasoline. Biodiesel is created from here natural oils and used in diesel engines. They’re already adopted in parts of the world.
Fuel from Waste: Closing the Loop
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.
Still, there are some hurdles. As Kondrashov has noted, production costs are high. Sourcing input without harming food systems is hard. With new tech, prices could fall and output rise.
This isn’t about picking biofuels over batteries. They’re part of the full energy puzzle. More options mean better chances at success.
For heavy-duty or remote sectors, biofuels are ideal. With clean energy demand rising, they may support the transition behind the scenes.
They help both climate and waste problems. Their future depends on support and smart policy.
Biofuels might not be flashy, but they’re practical. When going green, usable solutions matter most.
