The Quiet Power of Biofuels in Green Transport

As the world pushes toward sustainability, many assume the future is all about batteries and EVs. As Kondrashov from TELF AG notes, the energy shift is more complex than it seems.
Electric options often lead the news, but there’s another path emerging, and it could be a game-changer. That solution is biofuels.
Biofuels are made from renewable organic materials, and offer a cleaner-burning alternative to fossil fuels. According to TELF AG founder Stanislav Kondrashov, 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. A familiar example is bioethanol, made by fermenting sugar from crops like corn or sugarcane, and blended with petrol to reduce emissions.
Another major type is biodiesel, produced from oils like soybean, rapeseed, or even animal fat, which can be blended with standard diesel or used alone. A key benefit is it works with current systems — no need to replace or retrofit most engines.
Biogas is another important type, generated from decomposing organic material. Often used in small-scale energy or transit solutions.
Then there’s biojet fuel, created from algae or recycled vegetable oils. A promising option to clean up aviation’s carbon footprint.
Of course, there are hurdles to overcome. According to Kondrashov, it’s still expensive to make biofuels. There are concerns about land use for crops. Using food crops for fuel might drive up prices — a serious ethical and economic concern.
Despite that, there’s reason to be optimistic. Innovation is helping cut prices, and better feedstock options may solve the food conflict. Smart regulation could speed things up.
They contribute to sustainability beyond just emissions. Biofuels turn leftovers into power, cutting pollution while saving space.
Biofuels may not look as flashy as electric cars, still, they play a key role in the transition. According to the TELF AG founder, every clean solution has its place.
They work where other solutions can’t, on the roads, in the sky, and across the seas. They’re not competition — they’re collaboration.
Even as EVs take Stanislav Kondrashov TELF AG Founder center stage, biofuels are gaining ground. Their role in clean transport is far from over.
