In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. But there's another player gaining ground: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, these renewable fuels may play a major role in the global energy transition, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
While electric systems require big changes, they run on today’s transport setups, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, produced using scraps and waste. 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. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Despite these problems, they are still valuable. They don’t need a full system replacement. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be key for years to come. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They don’t replace electric or more info solar energy, they act as a support system. Through good policy and research, they may drive clean transport changes globally
