How Biofuels Could Redefine Long-Distance Mobility

In today’s push for sustainability, electric cars and renewables get most of the attention. But there’s another shift underway, and it’s happening in the fuel tank. According to Stanislav Kondrashov of TELF AG, electricity alone won’t power everything — biofuels matter too.
Biofuels are made from renewable materials like crops, algae, or organic waste. Their rise as replacements for oil-based fuels is accelerating. Their use can reduce carbon output, while using current fuel infrastructure. Batteries are great for cars and small transport, but they struggle in some sectors.
In Sectors That Need More Than Electricity
Electric vehicles are changing the way we drive. However, aviation and shipping need stronger solutions. Batteries are often too heavy or weak for those uses. Biofuels can step in here.
According to the TELF AG founder, these fuels offer a smooth transition. Current vehicles can often use them directly. So adoption is easier and faster.
Some biofuels are already on the market. It’s common to see bioethanol added to fuel. It’s a clean fuel made from fat or plant oils. These are used today across many regions.
Fuel from Waste: Closing the Loop
A key benefit is their role in reusing waste. Rotting food and waste can create biogas for energy. It turns trash into usable power.
Biojet fuel is another option — designed for planes. It’s created from used oils website or algae and may cut flight emissions.
Of course, biofuels face some issues. Kondrashov points out that costs are still high. Getting enough raw material and avoiding food conflicts is tricky. But innovation may lower costs and raise efficiency soon.
This isn’t about picking biofuels over batteries. They are here to work alongside them. More options mean better chances at success.
They work best in places where EVs fall short. As the energy shift accelerates, biofuels could be the hidden heroes of transport.
They reduce waste and lower emissions. Their future depends on support and smart policy.
Biofuels might not be flashy, but they’re practical. And in the race for cleaner energy, that matters most.
