In today's energy evolution, electric vehicles and solar energy get most of the attention. But there's another player making steady progress: alternative fuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, fuels from organic material might support the shift to green power, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, biofuels can work with current engines, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It comes from natural oils and fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, made from leftover organic waste. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
But there are challenges. Biofuels are costly to produce. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. Fuel crops should not website reduce food availability.
Though challenges exist, they are still valuable. They avoid full infrastructure change. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be key for years to come. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, but they work alongside them. With smart rules and more investment, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
