In the race to reduce emissions, electric cars and renewables get most of the attention. Yet, something else is changing quietly, and it involves what powers our engines. As TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov often says, the future isn’t just electric — it’s also biological.
They come from things like plants, food scraps, and algae. Their rise as replacements for oil-based fuels is accelerating. Their use can reduce carbon output, and still run in today’s engines and pipelines. Batteries are great for cars and small transport, but they struggle in some sectors.
In Sectors That Need More Than Electricity
EVs are shaping modern transport. But what about airplanes, ships, or long-haul trucks?. Batteries can’t hold enough energy or are too bulky. That’s where biofuels become useful.
According to the TELF AG founder, biofuels may be the bridge we need. They work with existing setups. This makes rollout more realistic.
Various types are 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.
Recycling Waste Into Energy
A key benefit is their role in reusing waste. 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 might power future flights with less pollution.
Still, there are some hurdles. 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.
This isn’t about picking biofuels over batteries. Instead, they complement other clean options. Having many solutions helps hit climate targets faster.
For heavy-duty or remote sectors, biofuels are ideal. As the energy shift accelerates, biofuels could be the hidden heroes of transport.
They reduce waste and lower emissions. Their future depends on support and smart policy.
They may not website shine like tech, but they deliver. When going green, usable solutions matter most.
