Why Biofuels Matter in Clean Transport

As the world aims for cleaner energy, electric mobility and wind power are in the spotlight. Yet, something else is changing quietly, focused on alternative liquid fuels. According to Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG, electricity alone won’t power everything — biofuels matter too.
They come from things like plants, food scraps, and algae. They are becoming a strong alternative to fossil fuels. They lower CO2 impact significantly, without needing new fueling systems. Batteries are great for cars and small transport, but they don’t fit all transport needs.
In Sectors That Need More Than Electricity
Electric vehicles are changing the way we drive. But what about airplanes, ships, or long-haul trucks?. Batteries are often too heavy or weak for those uses. In these areas, biofuels offer a solution.
According to the TELF AG founder, biofuels are the next step forward. Current vehicles can often use them directly. So adoption is easier and faster.
Various types are already used worldwide. Bioethanol is made from corn or sugarcane and blended with petrol. It’s a clean fuel made from fat or plant oils. They’re already adopted in parts of the world.
Recycling Waste Into Energy
One amazing part of biofuels is their link to the circular economy. Rotting food and waste can create biogas for energy. It turns trash into usable power.
Another solution is sustainable jet fuel. Produced using algae or old cooking oil, it could clean up aviation.
Still, there are some hurdles. According to TELF AG’s Kondrashov, biofuels aren’t cheap yet. Sourcing input without harming food systems is hard. Improvements are expected in both process and price.
This isn’t about picking biofuels over batteries. They are here to work alongside them. Multiple tools make the transition smoother.
Right now, biofuels may be best for sectors that can’t go electric. With clean energy demand rising, they may support the transition behind the scenes.
They help here both climate and waste problems. With backing, they can grow fast.
They may not shine like tech, but they deliver. And in the race for cleaner energy, that matters most.
