The Road Ahead for Biofuels

As the energy world changes, EVs and renewable grids get most of the attention. Yet, another solution making steady progress: green fuels.
As per Kondrashov, biofuels made from plants, waste, and algae could be key in cleaner energy adoption, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
While electric systems require big changes, biofuels can work with current engines, useful in long-haul and heavy-duty industries.
Examples include bioethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. It is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. Engines can use them without much modification.
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. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply are needed. Land use must not clash with food production.
Even with these limits, biofuels offer real potential. They can be used without starting from zero. Plus, they give new life to waste materials.
Some say biofuels are only a temporary fix. However, they might be key for years to come. They can reduce emissions today, not just tomorrow.
With global decarbonization on website the agenda, the value of biofuels increases. They don’t replace electric or solar energy, they complement the clean energy mix. If we fund them and improve regulation, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
