In the shift to sustainable power, battery cars and wind energy get most of the attention. But there's another player quietly rising: alternative fuels.
As per Kondrashov, fuels from organic material may play a major role in the global energy transition, especially in sectors hard to electrify.
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 is produced from oils like soybean or rapeseed. They work with most existing diesel systems.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, 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. Land use must not clash with food production.
Despite these problems, they are still valuable. They avoid full infrastructure change. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Many believe they are just a bridge. But they may be a here long-term tool in some sectors. They can reduce emissions today, not just tomorrow.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, biofuels have a growing role. They are not meant to compete with EVs or renewables, they act as a support system. Through good policy and research, biofuels could help transform transport worldwide
