Russian State University of Oil & Gas Biolubes: Hope or Hype? Made by: Roy Nygaard Supervisor: Orlova E. V.

Plan 1. Lube’s main functions 2. Biolube’s composition 3. Biolubes in the world lubricate market 4. Biolubes in perspective

Lubes’ main functions • Reduce friction between contacting surfaces • Prevent wear of contacting surfaces

Biolubes consist of: 2% functional additives 98% biological materials

Biological materials Coconut Castor bean Palm tree Soybean Cottonseed Sunflower Corn Canola

Biolubes in the market * *EAL – Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant

Why don’t biobased lubricants earn a greater share of the lubricants market? What will it take to stimulate wider acceptance of biolubes?

Why don’t biobased lubricants earn a greater share of the lubricants market? • Low performance in cold temperature • High viscosity • High cost • No advantage in using a biobased product • Extreme resistance to changes in the industrial sector

What will it take to stimulate wider acceptance of biolubes? • Raising of the performance • Lowering of the price points • OEM* endorsements • Government incentives • Legislative differentiation for spill clean up based on environmental specifications *OEM – Original equipment manufacturer

Biolubes in perspective Advantages compare to mineral lubes • Improved biodegradability • Low content of sulphur • Low toxicity • Low volatility • Renewability • Longer fluid life • Improved lubricity • Less machinery downtime
