The Road Ahead for Biofuels

In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids get most of the attention. But there's another player quietly rising: 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, where batteries are not practical yet.
While electric systems require big changes, biofuels can work with current engines, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. 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, made from leftover organic waste. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
Still, it’s not all smooth. Biofuels are costly to produce. We need innovation and raw material sources. We must avoid competing with food crops.
Despite these problems, 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. However, they might be key for years to come. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, the value of biofuels increases. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they act as a here support system. If we fund them and improve regulation, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
