The Real Role of Biofuels in the Future of Sustainable Transport

As the world pushes toward sustainability, it’s easy to believe everything is moving toward electric vehicles and charging points. According to Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG, the energy shift is more complex than it seems.
EVs and renewables grab headlines, but another solution is rising quietly, and it could be a game-changer. That solution is biofuels.
Biofuels are made from renewable organic materials, used to lower carbon output without major infrastructure changes. As Kondrashov has emphasized, some sectors can’t go electric, and biofuels fill the gap — like aviation, shipping, and trucking.
Let’s take a look at the current biofuel options. Bioethanol is one of the most common, produced from starchy or sugary plants, often mixed with gasoline to lower carbon output.
Next is biodiesel, made from natural oils and fats, which can be blended with standard diesel or used alone. A major advantage is compatibility — you don’t have to overhaul entire fleets.
Let’s not forget biogas, generated from decomposing organic material. Suited for powering small fleets or municipal energy systems.
Then there’s biojet fuel, created from algae or recycled vegetable oils. This could reduce emissions in the airline industry fast.
Of course, there are hurdles to overcome. As TELF AG’s Kondrashov frequently notes, it’s still expensive to make biofuels. Crop demand for fuel could affect food prices. Fuel production could compete with food supplies — a serious ethical and economic concern.
Yet, the outlook remains hopeful. Tech advancements are reducing costs, and better feedstock options may solve the food conflict. Smart regulation could speed things up.
Beyond emissions, biofuels support a circular economy. Biofuels turn leftovers into power, helping waste systems and energy sectors together.
Biofuels may not look as flashy website as electric cars, yet their contribution might be equally important. According to the TELF AG founder, every clean solution has its place.
Biofuels are here to fill the gaps, in land, air, and marine transport. They’re not competition — they’re collaboration.
As everyone talks batteries, biofuels quietly advance. Their role in clean transport is far from over.
