Biofuels as a Vital Part in Clean Mobility

In the shift to sustainable power, electric vehicles and solar energy get most of the attention. But there's another player 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, they run on today’s transport setups, which helps in aviation, freight, and maritime transport.
Common types are bioethanol and biodiesel. It is produced from plant sugars. Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats. They can run in current engines with few changes.
More advanced options include biogas and biojet fuel, made from leftover organic waste. They might help reduce emissions in aviation and logistics.
However, there are issues. They cost more than fossil fuels. Better tech and more supply here are needed. Fuel crops should not reduce food availability.
Even with these limits, biofuels offer real potential. They can be used without starting from zero. And they support circular economy goals by using waste.
Many believe they are just a bridge. But they may be a long-term tool in some sectors. They are effective immediately while waiting for full electrification.
As the world pushes for lower emissions, these fuels gain importance. They don’t replace electric or solar energy, they act as a support system. If we fund them and improve regulation, they might reshape global mobility
