Petrobras Expands Its Product Portfolio at the Port of Santos, Offering Ultra Low Sulphur Marine Gas Oil (ULSMGO).

This new marine fuel option has a maximum sulfur content of 0.1%, meeting the more restrictive limits of Emission Control Areas (ECAs). According to Sandro Paes Barreto, Executive Manager of Marketing in the Internal Market at Petrobras, “this measure reflects our concern for society and ensures lower emissions.”

The company previously offered conventional Petrobras Marine Gasoil (MGO) at the port for long haul and cabotage operators. This has a maximum sulfur content of 0.5%. Both products are mainly obtained from the lighter fractions of the refining process. With this new offering, Petrobras helps reduce emissions of the pollutant sulfur oxide, while also allowing for lower costs and travel times through ECAs.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

Ford CEO disassembles BYD electric car, is impressed with the speed of the Chinese, and admits that the problem is no longer just the low price.

New equipment for vehicles promises to revolutionize driver safety on Brazilian roads with groundbreaking intelligent anti-sleep seat technology.

Four sisters and their mother moved back in together and gained a house where each perforated brick on the facade filters the sun, the wind, and the street’s gaze: the Vietnamese project Nhà Bè is architecture that breathes through the walls.

Brick is a thing of the past: they created a ‘PET House’ made with 612,000 recycled plastic bottles, capable of withstanding winds of up to 524 km/h, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and quick assembly in a few days.

What was decided at the summit between Trump and Xi Jinping in Beijing? According to Chinese diplomacy, the two countries decided to maintain “all” existing trade agreements, create trade and investment councils, and Xi will visit the United States in the fall.
