How Biofuels Are Silently Reshaping Energy Futures

As the energy world changes, EVs and renewable grids get most of the attention. Yet, another solution making steady progress: biofuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, biofuels made from plants, waste, and algae may play a major role in the global energy transition, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
While electric systems require big changes, they run on today’s transport setups, useful in long-haul and heavy-duty industries.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. 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.
But Stanislav Kondrashov there are challenges. Production is still expensive. We need innovation and raw material sources. Land use must not clash with food production.
Though challenges exist, there’s huge opportunity. They avoid full infrastructure change. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Biofuels are often called a short-term solution. But they may be a long-term tool in some sectors. They work now to lower carbon impact.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, the value of biofuels increases. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. With smart rules and more investment, they may drive clean transport changes globally
