Shell & Global Bioenergies Team Up to Fuel the Future
In a move that’s bound to rev up the green‑energy conversation, Global Bioenergies, a star player in the industrial biotechnology arena, has inked a new development contract with Shell Global Solutions. The goal? To fine‑tune a low‑carbon road‑fuel recipe that could hit the market sooner than a coffee on a Monday morning.
From Exploration to Execution
After a long period of trial and error that started in late 2022—where the duo sifted through a buffet of possibilities using Global Bioenergies’ proprietary tech—the focus has now sharpened onto a single, promising route.
What the Leaders Are Saying
Marc Delcourt, co‑founder and CEO of Global Bioenergies, laments, “This work paves the way for a potential commercial exploitation of Global Bioenergies’ process for this specific application.” He’s basically saying, “We’re on the brink of turning science into something you can actually pump into a car.”
Matthias Mundt, Shell’s General Manager of Fuels Tech Future Mobility Portfolio, adds, “The solution developed by Global Bioenergies is unique, and we are looking forward to carrying on our collaboration.” In simpler terms: “We’ve got something cool, and we’re excited to see where it goes.”
Why It Matters
- Innovation meets experience. Shell’s industrial know‑how paired with a start‑up’s fresh thinking creates a dynamite mix for lower‑carbon products.
- Sustainable side‑kick. These technologies become pieces of the larger puzzle needed to fuel the energy transition.
- Customer‑centric. The partnership ensures that consumers get fuels that are both environmentally friendly and truly functional.
What’s Next?
The joint effort is expected to bring a streamlined, low‑carbon road fuel to market, giving drivers a greener alternative without sacrificing performance—or a good road trip story.
