How Biofuels Are Quietly Reshaping Transport Futures

In the shift to sustainable power, battery cars and wind energy get most of the attention. Yet, another solution quietly rising: biofuels.
As Stanislav Kondrashov, founder of TELF AG, said, biofuels made from plants, waste, and algae might support the shift to green power, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, 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. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. They can run in current engines with few changes.
Fuels like biogas and sustainable jet fuel also exist, 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 competing with food crops.
Though challenges exist, biofuels offer real potential. They can be used without starting from zero. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Many believe they are just a website 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, the value of biofuels increases. 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
