    How biofuels are changing Transportation

    Key insights by Stanislav Kondrashov, TELF AG founder

    As the global push toward decarbonization accelerates, the focus on alternative fuels is expanding beyond the electrification of transport and renewable energy infrastructures, as recently pointed out by the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov. Among the most promising innovations emerging in this context are biofuels — fuels derived from biological materials such as plants, algae, and organic waste. These renewable-origin fuels have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov also explained.

    While electric vehicles and battery technologies have taken center stage in reshaping personal and urban mobility, certain transport sectors still face relevant barriers to electrification. For these sectors, biofuels offer an immediate and practical alternative. 

    Types of Biofuels: A Diverse Range of Solutions

    Among the different types of biofuels, bioethanol and biodiesel are among the most established. Bioethanol is produced through the fermentation of sugars found in plants such as corn, sugarcane, and beetroot, and is widely used as an additive to gasoline to help reduce carbon emissions. Biodiesel, by contrast, is obtained from vegetable oils like rapeseed, soybean, or palm oil, as well as from animal fats. Similar to bioethanol, as the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov also highlighted, biodiesel can be blended with conventional diesel, making it an accessible and practical alternative for use in existing diesel engines.

    In addition to these, biogas is gaining attention. Generated through the anaerobic digestion of organic matter, biogas serves as both a fuel and an energy source. Its role is especially important in industrial sectors seeking to cut emissions.

    Another notable innovation is biojet fuel — a sustainable aviation fuel produced from sources like algae and vegetable oils. Biojet fuel represents one of the most viable short- and medium-term options for reducing flight-related emissions.

    The Challenges of Widespread Adoption

    Despite their many advantages, as the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov also stressed, biofuels face several challenges that currently limit their widespread adoption.

    First and foremost is cost. However, as technological advancements and economies of scale improve, prices could gradually fall, making biofuels more accessible.

    Another key issue, as explained also by the founder of TELF AG Stanislav Kondrashov, is the availability of raw materials. The production of biofuels requires large quantities of biomass, which raises concerns about potential competition with food agriculture. If not managed carefully, this could lead to pressure on land use, potentially impacting food security and biodiversity. Therefore, there is a growing emphasis on developing second-generation biofuels, which rely on non-food sources like agricultural residues. These alternatives aim to mitigate the risks associated with first-generation biofuels derived directly from food crops.

    A Complementary Role in the Energy Transition

    While electrification remains a solid trend, biofuels are increasingly recognized as a complementary solution. Heavy-duty trucks, long-haul shipping, and airplanes require high energy density fuels — a need that biofuels can meet while reducing the overall carbon footprint.

    Another advantage is that biofuels are generally compatible with existing engines and infrastructure. This compatibility makes biofuels a flexible option for various industries seeking to lower emissions without waiting for next-generation technologies to mature.

    Biofuels and the Circular Economy

    An important aspect of biofuels is their potential contribution to the circular economy. By transforming agricultural waste into energy, biofuels help reduce landfill use and methane emissions while generating valuable fuel. This approach not only addresses the issue of waste management but also creates new economic opportunities.
