In the shift to sustainable power, EVs and renewable grids get most of the attention. Yet, another solution making steady progress: green 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, useful in long-haul and heavy-duty industries.
Popular forms are ethanol and biodiesel. Bioethanol is made by fermenting sugars from corn or sugarcane. It comes from natural oils and fats. Engines can use them without much modification.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, made from leftover organic waste. here They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. Cheaper processes and more feedstock are required. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Though challenges exist, biofuels offer real potential. They don’t need a full system replacement. They also help recycle what would be trash.
Biofuels are often called a short-term solution. However, they might be key for years to come. They work now to lower carbon impact.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They won’t take the place of solar or electric power, but they work alongside them. If we fund them and improve regulation, they might reshape global mobility
