As the energy world changes, electric vehicles and solar energy are the main focus. But there's another player gaining ground: alternative fuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, these renewable fuels might support the shift to green power, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
While electric systems require big changes, biofuels can work with current engines, useful in long-haul and heavy-duty industries.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. Engines can use them without much modification.
Fuels like biogas and sustainable jet fuel also exist, produced using scraps and waste. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
Still, it’s not all smooth. Biofuels are costly read more to produce. Better tech and more supply are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Even with these limits, they are still valuable. They avoid full infrastructure change. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Many believe they are just a bridge. But they may be a long-term tool in some sectors. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They don’t replace electric or solar energy, they act as a support system. Through good policy and research, they might reshape global mobility
