I wonder what do you mean by obsolete, the efficiency of a combustion engine is still dramatically bad despite of the fuel being used, compared to an electric motor.
that being said, biofuels could be a nice thing to let us drive the current ICE vehicles in circulation, but just until they are totally busted and recycled.
we really need to stop manufacturing new cars, especially the one using ICE. cars are one of the most complex and wasteful product being manufactured.
It’s also quite inefficient for your engine. From the biofuels I’ve seen, performance and efficiency are negatively affected. It also has an increased toll on the wear and tear of the engine. You’re pretty much better off just sticking with petrol/diesel, unless you want to go full BEV.
Dam it’s worst than I thought . And I can hear this biofuel narrative being pushed by some politicians now.
So they will have to design specific engine then. I can see the aviation sector going there but I wonder which automotive brand will have the audacity to launch the first car.
In a perfect world, BEV would go alongside hydrogen and biofuels, but the latter both aren’t at the level of efficiency and affordability BEV’s have
But yes, companies do like the idea of biofuels, including legacy auto manufacturers. It means they really don’t have to spend all that much on development costs. Why would they spend money on an entirely new platform, when they already dumped decades of investment on an existing one?
This is all really why China is about to take that EV manufacturing crown from the world. They never really did well manufacturing ICE vehicles. They made the bet on BEV against the reluctance of western manufacturers, and Japan, they were just too overconfident with hydrogen development.

Biofuels are not even remotely economical and never will be. There is simply not enough agricultural land to grow enough plants.
So it’s sucks then. Bad efficiency + bad ressources impact.
Let’s hope that people will consider the negative impact on land and ressources for biofuel better than for meat and diary.

What a disaster this would be.
They will spew whatever bullshit just to save their precious ICE engines.
