Global Bioenergies and Shell agree to collaborate on the development and testing of low carbon road fuels. The first phase of this agreement will evaluate new concepts based on high-octane gasoline components derived from bio-based feedstocks. The collaboration will see the two companies conduct a joint research study, to identify and develop manufacturing methods to produce the molecules required to create high-octane components.

The agreement also allows for a period of exclusivity to further develop these innovative concepts in the future.
