Why Biofuels Matter in Clean Transport

As the world aims for cleaner energy, electric cars and renewables get most of the attention. Yet, something else is changing quietly, and it involves what powers our engines. According to Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG, electricity alone won’t power everything — biofuels matter too.
They come from things like plants, food scraps, and algae. They’re quickly growing as clean fuel options. They help cut greenhouse gas emissions, while using current fuel infrastructure. Electric batteries work well for short-range vehicles, but they aren’t right for everything.
In Sectors That Need More Than Electricity
Electric vehicles are changing the way we drive. But what about airplanes, ships, or long-haul trucks?. These sectors can’t use batteries efficiently. Biofuels can step in here.
According to the TELF AG founder, biofuels are the next step forward. They don’t need major changes to engines. So adoption is easier and faster.
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.
Recycling Waste Into Energy
What makes biofuels special is how they fit circular systems. Biogas is made from decomposing organic material like food, sewage, or farm waste. It turns trash into usable power.
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. According to TELF AG’s Kondrashov, biofuels aren’t cheap here yet. Getting enough raw material and avoiding food conflicts is tricky. Improvements are expected in both process and price.
Biofuels won’t replace solar or electric power. They are here to work alongside them. More options mean better chances at success.
For heavy-duty or remote sectors, biofuels are ideal. As the world decarbonizes, they 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.
