How Biofuels Are Subtly Reshaping Transport Futures

In the shift to sustainable power, electric vehicles and solar energy are the main focus. But there's another player gaining ground: green fuels.
According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, fuels from organic material may play a major role in the global energy transition, mainly where electric tech is not viable.
While electric systems require big changes, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. They can run in current engines with few changes.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, made from leftover organic waste. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
Still, it’s not all smooth. Biofuels are costly to produce. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. We must avoid here competing with food crops.
Though challenges exist, there’s huge opportunity. They can be used without starting from zero. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
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 green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. If we fund them and improve regulation, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
