Biofuels as a Key Player in Clean Mobility

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, fuels from organic material may play a major role in the global energy transition, where batteries are not practical yet.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. Engines can use them without much modification.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from food waste, sewage, and organic material. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply are needed. We must avoid competing with food crops.
Despite these problems, there’s huge opportunity. They avoid full infrastructure change. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Biofuels are often called a here short-term solution. Yet, they could be a solid long-term option. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As green goals become more urgent, the value of biofuels increases. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. If we fund them and improve regulation, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
