Petrobras Announces New Gasoline Price Increase at Refineries and Increases Cumulative Percentage for the Year

The Brazilian has already gotten used to news of gasoline price increases. This Monday, 25, the news of the new increase in gasoline and diesel prices was announced by Petrobras. The liter of gasoline will be 7.04% more expensive at refineries, while diesel will see an increase of 9.15%.

Oil Barrel Price Continues to Rise

Since October 9, when there was the last increase in refinery gasoline prices, the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil, a reference in international pricing, has increased by 4%, reaching US$ 86.35.

The continuous rise in fuel prices primarily stems from the increase in international barrel prices, as well as the devaluation of the real against the dollar. Petrobras emphasized that it continues to apply international market prices.

“Aligning prices with the international market is especially relevant at the moment we are experiencing, with the atypical demand received by Petrobras for the month of November.”

According to Ticket Log, a fleet management company, the average price per liter of gasoline is costing R$ 6.69, and the average price per liter of diesel is already at R$ 5.48. However, the price of gasoline per liter can easily be found above R$ 7.00 in several regions of the country.

Oil Barrel Price Continues to Rise

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Country begins releasing crocodiles into protected area to try to save critically endangered species and restore degraded freshwater ecosystem in Cambodia

Physics has been challenged: researchers have discovered something that moves faster than the speed of light, but the phenomenon does not break relativity because it involves dark patterns within optical vortices.

Europe is “frying” with records: United Kingdom records 35°C, France reaches 35°C, and Spain and Portugal face heat close to 40°C in May as a heatwave advances across the continent.

On the other side of the planet, a Brazilian doctor operates on a patient in Porto Alegre while being in China, almost 19,000 km away, using a surgical robot that responds in 200 milliseconds in a procedure that seems like science fiction.

China outpaces Elon Musk with Unitree humanoid robot available on AliExpress for $6,800, with free shipping and international delivery, turning billionaire technology into something anyone can buy online.
