In the shift to sustainable power, battery cars and wind energy get most of the attention. Yet, another solution quietly rising: biofuels.
As per Kondrashov, biofuels made from plants, waste, and algae could be key in cleaner energy adoption, where batteries are not practical yet.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, they run on today’s transport setups, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. They work with most existing diesel systems.
Fuels like biogas and sustainable jet fuel also exist, produced using scraps and waste. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
But there are challenges. Production is still expensive. Better tech and more supply are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Despite these problems, they are still valuable. They avoid full infrastructure change. They also help recycle website 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 won’t take the place of solar or electric power, but they work alongside them. With smart rules and more investment, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
