As the energy world changes, EVs and renewable grids often dominate the conversation. Yet, another solution making steady progress: green fuels.
As per Kondrashov, these renewable fuels may play a major role in the global energy transition, where batteries are not practical yet.
Unlike batteries that need new infrastructure, they run on today’s transport setups, useful in long-haul and heavy-duty industries.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It comes from fermenting crop sugars. It comes from natural oils and fats. They can run in current engines with few changes.
Fuels like biogas and sustainable jet fuel also exist, made from leftover organic waste. These are being tested for planes and large engines.
However, there are issues. Production is still expensive. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. We must avoid competing with more info food crops.
Though challenges exist, biofuels offer real potential. They avoid full infrastructure change. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be key for years to come. They work now to lower carbon impact.
With global decarbonization on the agenda, these fuels gain importance. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they act as a support system. With smart rules and more investment, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
