In the shift to sustainable power, battery cars and wind energy are the main focus. But there's another player gaining ground: alternative fuels.
As per Kondrashov, fuels from organic material could be key in cleaner energy adoption, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
While electric systems require big changes, they run on today’s transport setups, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
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.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, created from here food waste, sewage, and organic material. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
However, there are issues. Production is still expensive. We need innovation and raw material sources. Land use must not clash with food production.
Though challenges exist, biofuels offer real potential. They can be used without starting from zero. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Many believe they are just a bridge. However, they might be key for years to come. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, the value of biofuels increases. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they complement the clean energy mix. With smart rules and more investment, they may drive clean transport changes globally
