Shell & Virent Develop New Biogasoline Fuel Technology

Shell and in collaboration with US biofuels company Virent is developing a new biogasoline fuel and blend components directly from plant sugars without the need for fermenting sugars into ethanol. Virent’s catalytic process will be used which is a proven biomass-derived feedstocks to biogasoline production. Researchers claimed that the new biogasoline molecules will have a better fuel efficiency than ethanol. Furthermore, the new biogas can eliminate the need for new engine designs.
