In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids get most of the attention. However, one more option making steady progress: alternative fuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, fuels from organic material might support the shift to green power, where batteries are not practical yet.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, they run on today’s transport setups, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It comes from natural oils and fats. They can run in current engines with few changes.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, produced using scraps and waste. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
However, there are issues. Production is still expensive. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. We must avoid competing with check here food crops.
Even with these limits, biofuels offer real potential. They can be used without starting from zero. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. Yet, they could be a solid long-term option. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, but they work alongside them. Through good policy and research, they might reshape global mobility
