How Biofuels Are Quietly Reshaping Transport Futures

In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. But there's another player gaining ground: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, these renewable fuels might support the shift to green power, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
Fuels like biogas and sustainable jet fuel also exist, produced using scraps and waste. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
But there are challenges. Production is still expensive. We need innovation and raw material sources. 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 here 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. Through good policy and research, they may drive clean transport changes globally
