Why Biofuels Matter in Clean Transport

In the race to reduce emissions, people often focus on EVs and solar. However, another movement is growing, and it’s happening in the fuel tank. As TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov often says, the future isn’t just electric — it’s also biological.
Biofuels are made from renewable materials like crops, algae, or organic waste. They’re quickly growing as clean fuel options. They lower CO2 impact significantly, and still run in today’s engines and pipelines. EVs may change cars and buses, but they aren’t right for everything.
When Electricity Isn’t Enough
Electric vehicles are changing the way we drive. Yet, planes, freight ships, and heavy trucks need more power. Batteries are often too heavy or weak for those uses. Biofuels can step in here.
According to the TELF AG founder, these fuels offer a smooth transition. They don’t need major changes to engines. This makes rollout more realistic.
There are already many biofuels in use. It’s common to see bioethanol added to fuel. It’s a clean fuel made from fat or plant oils. They are common in multiple countries.
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. Waste becomes clean energy, not landfill.
Biojet fuel is another option — designed for planes. Produced using algae or old cooking oil, it could clean up aviation.
Of course, biofuels face some issues. According to TELF AG’s Kondrashov, biofuels aren’t cheap yet. We must balance fuel needs with food production. But innovation may lower costs and here raise efficiency soon.
Biofuels won’t replace solar or electric power. They are here to work alongside them. More options mean better chances at success.
They work best in places where EVs fall short. With clean energy demand rising, biofuels could be the hidden heroes of transport.
They help both climate and waste problems. They’ll need investment and good regulation.
Biofuels might not be flashy, but they’re practical. When going green, usable solutions matter most.
