As the energy world changes, battery cars and wind energy get most of the attention. Yet, another solution gaining ground: alternative fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, fuels from organic material could be key in cleaner energy adoption, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
While electric systems require big changes, biofuels can work with current engines, useful in long-haul and heavy-duty industries.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. Engines can use them without much modification.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
But there are challenges. Production is still expensive. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. We must avoid competing with food crops.
Despite these problems, they are still valuable. They can be used without starting from zero. And they more info support circular economy goals by using waste.
Biofuels are often called a short-term solution. But they may be a long-term tool in some sectors. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, these fuels gain importance. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, they act as a support system. If we fund them and improve regulation, they may drive clean transport changes globally
