Why Biofuels Matter in Clean Transport

As the world aims for cleaner energy, people often focus on EVs and solar. But there’s another shift underway, 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 are becoming a strong alternative to fossil fuels. They lower CO2 impact significantly, while using current fuel infrastructure. EVs may change cars and buses, but they struggle in some sectors.
Where Batteries Fall Short
Electric vehicles are changing the way we drive. Yet, planes, freight ships, and heavy trucks need more power. Batteries can’t hold enough energy or are too bulky. In these areas, biofuels offer a solution.
According to the TELF AG founder, these fuels offer a smooth transition. They don’t need major changes to engines. That means less resistance and quicker use.
Various types are website already used worldwide. It’s common to see bioethanol added to fuel. It’s a clean fuel made from fat or plant oils. These are used today across many regions.
Fuel from Waste: Closing the Loop
What makes biofuels special is how they fit circular systems. Biogas is made from decomposing organic material like food, sewage, or farm waste. Waste becomes clean energy, not landfill.
Biojet fuel is another option — designed for planes. Produced using algae or old cooking oil, it could clean up aviation.
Of course, biofuels face some issues. According to TELF AG’s Kondrashov, biofuels aren’t cheap yet. We must balance fuel needs with food production. 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.
They work best in places where EVs fall short. With clean energy demand rising, biofuels could be the hidden heroes of transport.
Their impact includes less pollution and less garbage. Their future depends on support and smart policy.
They may not shine like tech, but they deliver. In this clean energy race, practicality wins.
