The New Gasoline Will Be Available at Bosch’s Refueling Stations This Year, and the Partnership with Volkswagen and Shell Made All the Difference in the Final Result of the New Fuel

The automobile manufacturer Volkswagen, technology supplier Bosch, and the multinational energy and petrochemical company Shell have jointly developed Blue Gasoline. The companies’ innovation is a gasoline capable of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 20%.

Despite all the studies and efforts already made, a little more is still needed for synthetic fuels to establish themselves in gasoline markets. The facilities are still costly and there are only a few pilot plants.

Synthetic fuels, like those from Bosch, Volkswagen, and Shell, are produced exclusively to support renewable energy. In the first stage, hydrogen is made from water. Afterward, carbon is added to produce the liquid fuel, which can be recycled through industrial processes or even captured from the air through filters. The combination of CO2 and H2 results in the famous synthetic fuels, which can be diesel, gas, gasoline, or even kerosene.

About Bosch, Volkswagen, and Shell

Having been in Brazil for 65 years, Bosch employs about 8,000 employees and reported a net profit of around R$ 5.2 billion in 2019 from products and services offered in the mobility sector, among many others.

Volkswagen, which started in the 1930s, operates in 150 countries and is now one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world. It came to Brazil in 1953 when the first units of the Beetle were assembled using parts imported from Germany.

Shell is a global energy company with around 92,000 employees, operating in over 70 countries. In Brazil, Shell has one thousand employees.

About Bosch, Volkswagen, and Shell

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.
