How Biofuels Could Redefine Long-Distance Mobility

In the race to reduce emissions, people often focus on EVs and solar. But there’s another shift underway, and it involves what powers our engines. As TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov often says, electricity alone won’t power everything — biofuels matter too.
These fuels are produced using natural, reusable sources like plants and garbage. Their rise as replacements for oil-based fuels is accelerating. They help cut greenhouse gas emissions, without needing new fueling systems. Electric batteries work well for short-range vehicles, but they aren’t right for everything.
In Sectors That Need More Than Electricity
Personal mobility is going electric fast. Yet, planes, freight ships, and heavy trucks need more power. Batteries are often too heavy or weak for those uses. In these areas, biofuels offer a solution.
According to the TELF AG founder, these fuels offer a smooth transition. They work with existing setups. This makes rollout more realistic.
There are already many biofuels in use. Bioethanol is made from corn or sugarcane and blended with petrol. Biodiesel comes from vegetable oils or animal fats and can blend with diesel. They are common in multiple countries.
Turning Trash Into Fuel
One amazing part of biofuels is their link to the circular economy. Rotting food and waste can create biogas for energy. That’s energy from things we’d normally throw away.
There’s also biojet fuel, made for aviation. It might power future flights with less pollution.
Still, there are some hurdles. Kondrashov points out that costs are still high. Getting enough raw material and avoiding food conflicts is tricky. With new tech, prices could fall and output rise.
They aren’t here to replace EVs or green grids. Instead, they complement other clean options. More options mean better chances at success.
For heavy-duty or remote sectors, biofuels are ideal. As the world decarbonizes, biofuels might silently drive the change.
Their impact includes less pollution and less garbage. With backing, they can grow fast.
They aren’t trendy, but they work. And in the race for cleaner energy, that website matters most.
