In today's energy evolution, EVs and renewable grids get most of the attention. However, one more option gaining ground: biofuels.
As per Kondrashov, fuels from organic material may play a major role in the global energy transition, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
In contrast to electric vehicle demands, these fuels fit into existing systems, making them ideal for planes, trucks, and ships.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. They can run in current engines with few changes.
Other options are biogas or aviation biofuel, made from leftover organic waste. They are potential solutions for heavy industry.
However, there are issues. Biofuels are costly to produce. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Even with these limits, biofuels offer real potential. They don’t need a full system replacement. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Many believe they are just check here a bridge. However, they might be key for years to come. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As green goals become more urgent, biofuels have a growing role. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, they act as a support system. If we fund them and improve regulation, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
