In today's energy evolution, EVs and renewable grids are the main focus. But there's another player gaining ground: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, these renewable fuels may play a major role in the global energy transition, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
In contrast to electric vehicle demands, biofuels can work with current engines, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, produced using scraps and waste. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
But there are challenges. Production is still expensive. Better tech and more supply are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Even with these limits, they are still valuable. They avoid full infrastructure change. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be key for years to come. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, but they work alongside them. more info Through good policy and research, they might reshape global mobility
